I need something that deals with open files. I have a ms sql server running for the cad user vault and need to backup that database as well. It looks like the cobian backup supports volume shadow copy which I think will allow the backup of open files and sql server databases. So I think I am looking for backup software that will support VSS?? Dan Goldberg

We were using Ultrabac in our plants which holds the file being backed up open in deny write mode. What started happening is the tape filled while it had one of the .rb? files open. So it sat there waiting for someone to replace the tape; meanwhile, nobody could save any data. Disastrous! We now make nightly archives of the database and have those backed up while the .rb? files are specifically excluded from the backup.
