Description:
	Enhanced offline_db 'stale data' check in weekly backup script.
	
	Add a check to verify that the offline_db is current (based on
	the journal counter) before doing the database swap in the
	weekly backup script.
	
	This addresses a scenario where a calamity of errors could cause
	the offline_db to be stale before the weekly backup script is run.
	
	A safety feature already in the SDP ensures that the offline_db is
	not incomplete, e.g. in the process of being written, as could occur
	if there were a sudden power off during checkpoint recovery.  The
	improved check in this job will also verify that the data is current.

DevNotes:
	This job, SDP-30, was originally named job000427.
