Dear Cobian,
This is NOT a Cobian issue, but I am hoping if you have a workaround for it.
Under the old Cobian Backup, an error is thrown whenever Backup comes across a file that is locked and the program locking it is not VSS compliant.
In my wrapper code, I check for an kill a number of these programs, but sometimes the users needs them left running, so my wrapper has a switch to not kill vss stinkers. But they get marginal backups because of it. Thunderbird and QuickBooks are the main offenders.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
