Open File Backup

Open File Backup

During a backup, needs the requisite permission to access the file(s) that are to be backed up. Some (open) files may be in use at the time by other applications. While makes all possible efforts to backup these files, it may not always be possible.

For example, Microsoft Outlook cannot be backed up if it is open as cannot access the requisite files as Outlook does not permit the file to be shared! While can still manage Outlook Backups (click for details), the best way to handle open file backups is to use ’s Open File Plug-in or to use the Volume Shadow Copy Service. Please note that, since 2.2 Release, supports Volume Shadow Copy Service based open file backups in Windows XP/2003/Vista OSes. For other Windows OSes, you have to use the 's Open File Plugin.

Limitations


The plug-in is pre-configured to allow access to open files, and with it you needn’t worry about files not being backed up because they happened to be in use at the time of backup. For more details, please visit us at http://storegrid.vembu.com/online-backup/open-file-backup.php
