The share mode affects the rights that other programs have when they try to
open the file AFTER you do. If another program, or the system, already has
the file open in exclusive mode then you can't do much about that.
David's solution is about the best. Making a copy of the file is about the
simplest way to get at the data. Copy it, read the copy into your backup
with the same details (filename, attribs, etc) as the original, then kill
the copy.
