Well... the documentation pretty much covers it. Some open files can not be backed up or changed. This is a well known fact and you've probably seen it many times when trying to install an application on the windows platform - "Close any open programs before you continue". > Which files and/or wich applications can't permit the file copy ?? Windows and I think almost all applications running on it. > if a notepad (.txt) file is open bacula do the backup? I think notepad/editors are an exception from the above... but try it if it is important to you. > if an access file (.mdb) if open by MSAccess or by the IIS is the same thing? > bacula will backup this file if is open by a server web? A database is usually locked and it is not a good idea anyway to backup a database by filecopy when its hot. Data is cached and not committed to disk. You will most likely get an inconsistent (useless) backup. > bacula will exclude EVERY open file or there is any exception ??? Bacula will only include/exclude what you explicitly tell it to include/exclude in the fileset. Bacula will do its best to try to backup the files but depending on the operating system and the application, open files might be impossible to backup. /Jens ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
