[Guest]

Hello,

Is there a utility that I can use to copy "in use" files in Windows XP?

There must be some file-by-file backup program that can do this.

xxcopy and Lxcopy do not work for me.

Thanks in advance,

Tom

I think Drive Image (now integrated into Ghost) can do this.

SyncBackSE does it, works very well and is reasonably priced at
USD15.00.

Its not a file-by-file backup program tho.

Yes, NTbackup should be able to back up "in use" files. The XP version is
especially nice with the "Shadow volume backup" feature. Who would have
thought, XP has the utility you need built right in!
