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.

Yes, LiveVault is what you are looking for.  Real time backup.

Seems to me something like livevault (I think that was it) would work.

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? 

Thanks, 

Mark
