Dabase-Safe: Enforce Exclusive Access

The database-safe mode makes sure that no other application can have a file open with write access while it is being copied. A special technique guarantees absolute security even with SQL database files. If an application is currently working with the file, the Synchronizer can be set up to wait until the file is free. While it is being copied, an application trying to access the file in read/write mode will fail and issue an error message. As soon as the copying is finished, the file can be used nomally again.

Prior to copying, verify that all files can be copied by opening them

This setting is rarely used. It ensures (as much as possible) that the copying is only done if all files can actually be copied. That way, you will either get all files copied successfully, or none. To make this possible, a separate step (checking all files) is added before the actual copying starts. If any file is not accessible on the source side or is not writeable on the destination, then the profile will be stopped. Usually this setting is used when profiles are run via scheduler, so that another attempt to copy the files will be made at the next scheduled time.
