Hi We're using BackupPC (current version) to backup our workstations, problem is that most staff leave the Outlook apps open at night, causing the backup to fail. Is there not any way that I can config BackupPC to skip open files and continue? This is the error we are getting. 2005-10-31 12:31:10 Backup failed on bronwen<http://192.168.2.6/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?host=3Dbronwen>(Unexpecte= d end of tar archive) |

I don't see any other Good Way (I suppose you could run a script on all your workstations to nightly close Outlook...), but that definitely doesn't mean there aren't. Regards, Gwenn |

Is there no way to tell Backup PC to skip open files?
