Hi Louis, it doesn't say that at all, what it does say is this:

Whilst you must never copy a running database, you can backup *.ldb & 
*.tdb files online with 'tdbbackup'

This is a bit ambiguous, what it should say is:

You must never copy the running database (*.ldb & *.tdb files) except 
with 'tdbbackup'
