Dear Gilberto,

Place the following option in your FileSet configuration:

Enable VSS = yes

This option will allow Bacula to backup open files.
Use this option only when you are trying to backup Windows machine with a OS not prior to Windows XP.

Quoting the Bacula Main Reference - 09112014:

"Technically Bacula creates a shadow copy as soon as the backup process starts. It does then backup all files from the shadow copy and destroys the shadow copy after the backup process."

In short:

- Bacula will start the VSS service on you Windows Server to create a backup.
- After the backup is done, Bacula will stop the VSS service.

============================================================================================================================================================================

Here is an example of a FileSet with VSS enabled:

FileSet {
 Name = "Windows FileSet"
Enable VSS = yes
 Include {
    Options {
      signature = MD5
      compression = GZIP
  }
    File = "C:/"
  }
 Exclude {
    File = "C:/pagefile.sys"
    File = "C:/hiberfil.sys"
  }

}


Best regards,

Luc Assoua.

Hello friends...

Is there anybody here know something about make backup with bacula in a MS Windows with SQL Server??
I try it, but I get error that Shadow Copy is not active!
So I ask because I am afraid that active Shadow Copy will interfere with SQL Server in same way...

I hope that I am clear about this issue!

Thanks for any kind of help.

Best regards
