Ying, Such behavior is completely up to the server. It would be hard to predict all the possible implementations. It will probably be difficult to know what an individual server might do. The implementors might not be able to predict the behavior either as it probably delpends on how the server crashed, and what it was doing when it crashed. Backups don't have anything to do with locking. How backups are done is not specified by the WebDAV protocol. If you want to "backup" the resource yourself, do a GET and store the resource in some other space. Servers do need to provide some way to unlock resources when the lock owner is not available to do so. How this is done is also server dependent. I have a question about the LOCK method. If a resource on a server is locked by a user and after that the server is crashed, what will happen to the resource? How can I back it up? Thanks. -Ying
