I appreciate the ongoing discussion regarding the logs, but does anybody have any comments
regarding the questions I previously asked? Here they are again:

If you create a new database and do a full online backup (this also includes future regular full online backups) is it ever necessary to do a full offline backup(ie shutdown, backup, startup)? I have heard conflicting answers, regarding
this and am looking for some clarification. Don't 24x7 applications always have to
execute offline backups? Are offline backups done for peace of mind, and if yes why? What
issues are introduced if only offline backups are issued. In addition, we are using BMCs Sql BackTrack product and I am not sure if it is a requirement of the tool that an offline backup be periodically performed. If you know that as well, please share. Thanks
