Copy open files

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm looking for any utility (best free) for Windows XP Professional which can copy open (locked) files.

Unlocker works perfectly, but I want it for backup of some files and Unlcoker can copy locked files only in GUI interface and unlocking of locked files is not what I want, because It's causing errors.

Thank you for help

See if you can use this script + executable in your project.

I've tried something similar, but it seems that if I have disabled system restore and indexing service (I made my instalation with nLite) then I can't use VSS.

(Waiting for the asynchronous operation to finish...)
Error during the last asynchronous operation.
- Returned HRESULT = 0x80042318
- Error text: VSS_E_WRITER_INFRASTRUCTURE
- Please re-run VSHADOW.EXE with the /tracing option to get more details

I'll think it might be impossible to do that task if you have disabled those services. Can't you use Winpe for that task, then you wouldn't have any open files.

I'm backuping when I'm 10 minutes away from computer and I don't want every day go to WinPE or anything else.
