Please note that just shutting down the service w/o first shutting down the database is the same as issuing 'shutdown abort', and therefore not what you want to do for backups!

Check alert.log for verificatin of this - even a shutdown abort will tag a message in the alert. Killing the service out from under the db leaves NO message.

I also had verification when trying to recover an NT db that had been configured like this - luckily I just got fuzzy backup errors, but was still able to come back.
