Allow the creation of project or module archives while users are working on the data (remove the necessity for exclusive access during the archiving task)

Creating module and project archives must be possible in the background and in parallel, even while modules are in use. Backups of specific projects or modules can only be made during off-peak, users may work late or on weekends, and are thus blocking archiving tasks. Allow archiving while users are working on module.

Give the archiving tasks independent access to project and/or module data, to allow both, archiving and ordinary users working on data to take place in parallel.

    This is an very important demand for us as we are working nearby 24hrs/day 6 (7) days a week on our Databases!

    Even we have implemented an scheduled archiving, it is important to archive Modules/Projects, which are in (also readonly!) usage.
