[Tinymux] Win32 database backup procedure?

[Joseph Greenawalt]

Hello.  I'm attempting to write a small script to perform automatic backups
of the tinyMUX 2.4 database(s).  I want to make sure that the script is
safe, does not corrupt the database, and backups are reliable.  With these
goals in mind I have a couple of questions.

1. Is it necessary to put the database files into a "safe" state so that
they can be copied?  If so, what is the best way to go about doing this?  Is
it possible to "safe" the db(s) without restarting the process?  If not, how
can the netmux process be shutdown and restarted gracefully from an external
script?
2. What is the purpose of the db_unload.bat and db_load.bat script files?
3. Which files in the data folder need to be backed up in order to
successfully recover from catastrophic data loss (I'm assuming all of them)?

Any pointers or information to get me headed in the right direction will be
greatly appreciated.
