Bill,
I've rebooted the server several times and the backup worked today. :o) I also threatened it with a cup of tea if it didn't sort itself out! Lol Thanks for the tip, I've never really looked into WSH, but if I get time I might take a delve into it. (Then again, thanks to MS killing VFP, a 9 man year re-write of all my applications in Dabo might not give me any spare time! ;o) To think the M$ asked me if my roadmap included re-writing everything to take advantages of new features in new languages (i.e. .NET)! The answer is NO, my apps and code work fine, Sell them, don't re-write the whole bloody lot. Where is the business sense in that? Still, I think the move to DABO/Python will give us an advantage when everyone moves over to Linux, specially in the business world where they can save on licensing fees for their Oses. Doesn't this sound like another thread?

That backup program is mostly brain dead when it comes to handling open files. 2. AD runs as a service and can be stopped either interactively or programmatically via WSH. 3. When AD is not running, the files it uses are not open. Then: 1. set up a WSH file to stop AD service 2. launch your backup program Give it a shot, lemme know how it works?
