re: Why do BackupRead and BackupWrite require synchronous file handles?

>> I think the problem is that we are having a hard time imagining just what those issues might be.

Maybe they used it like:

// write stuff

BackupWrite(some async handle);

// wait for write to finish

WaitForMAGIC();

And MAGIC is something that only happened due to the erroneous use of BackupWrite.

Am I the only one uncomfortable with the fact that the backup software I might trust my data with is written so poorly that it depends on obscure bugs?
