Concurrency?

[Nathan Neulinger]

Is it safe to run multiple invocations of gyb simultaneously against the same target backup folder? i.e. for different searches?

[Keith Robards]

Hi Nathan, I suspect that might be dangerous due to simultaneous access being required to the master files.

It should be safe, but if you run overlapping searches, GYB will download the common messages each time, overwriting the older copy. The master file is a SQLite database, and can handle concurrent access.

You can, of course, combine searches with OR. If you do that, you will only download each message once.

Thank you. I was mainly concerned about accidental overlaps if I had a short duration incremental search running and I
ran a different operation against the same directory. Sounds like it isn't really a corruption issue - only inefficient
if the searches overlap.
