Copy MDF and LDF files while SQL running?

Asked by Volibrawl in SQL Server 2005, MS SQL Server

Tags: mdf, copy, sql, ldf, file

As a backup precaution, can we just copy all our SQL MDF and LDF files to another computer on the network periodically?

Can you copy these files without shutting down SQL  (ie while they are still Attached Databases).
