Doesn't Live Vault backup the file only after it is closed? It appears as if some files never get closed. But Live Vault is a solid choice.

Seems to me something like livevault (I think that was it) would work. -----Original Message----- From: Dempster, Mark [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] Sent: Friday, September 28, 2001 2:03 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Backup - recommendation please? Hi, I'm looking for a backup solution for a new customer. We normally use unenhanced versions of Backup Exec or Arcserve, & back the system up out of hours. Unfortunately this customer needs to work 24/7. The software my company produces uses a well-known accounting package at its core, which stores its data in a very large number of files which are related to each other. It isn't possible to use a normal 'backup open files' approach since if two related files are backed up - but new data has been added in-between - restoring them will leave the system in an inconsistent state. So, I think what's needed (if such a thing exists) is a product that will take a snapshot of an entire directory (inc. subdirs) and back that up - while leaving the system usable (a moderate slowdown is acceptable). Does anyone know if there's an add-on for our normal backup tools (or even a completely different product) that can do what I'm asking? If so, what's your experience of it?
