Not sure what you mean by "protected" ?
It's just no different than usual (ie. you can copy if you have the
appropriate rights, if the file is not exclusively lock etc...).
Have you tried your scenario ? What is the problem you have (error message)
?

Sorry, yes, I'm referring to the exclusive lock such as the windows registry.
Yes I've tried it with VB6/FSO and with VB.NET. I don't have the code
infront of me to see the error message but it indicates that it can't copy
the file because it's open.
I'm guessing that there is some way to do this because backup software is
able to do it.

Not sure but they might save a backup copy that is maintained by windows. As
this version is not live it should work...
Unless writing a backup software, my personal preference is to delegate this
to a backup software rather than to add backup capabilities into a non
backup related application...
Sorry for the poor help...

Greetings Bishop,
Take a look at the System.IO Namespace, in special the File object.
There's a shared method Copy that copies one file to another location.
However it doesn't make bulk copies (ie, copy multiple files). for this
you should start thinking about multi-threads, in order to speed up, or
not (ie, the same way Windows Explorer does).
As for "exclusive locked" files, there's not much to be done. Not even
Backup Applications can open a file that's already open with an
"Excluside Lock". (Please, don't take my word on it, try it :)
Regards,
Paulo

Hi !
I have some backup files on a server farm.
I want to store these local backup files on a backup file server for
"safety's snake".
These files are compressed zip files with 12 character length password.
But my system admin asked me, how can I improve the safety of the copy
operation, and the storing (now I use Samba share to store these files. I
map the SMB share on the client, copy these files, and unmap SMB).

Hi all,
I know this is possible in Oracle but has anyone done it in DB2 and
could you maybe direct me to some documentation or let me know how I
would go about doing it?
In the oracle world you would basically need to do the following:
1. Set tablespace to backup mode
2. Copy associated data files to new directory/system

Hello
i'm looking for some tool to backup some data but as i don't seem to
find one that fits my needs i'll start implementing it by my own.
Here's some funktions i need to have:
- Backup between 1,5 to 2 million files/direcorties (150 to 250 GB)
- Backup all to a 'one-file-archive'. This could be a zip file e.g. on
an other disk or a networkdrive.
- Backup only modified files (date/size)

do you know of any way to copy locked / opened files under win xp?
I know there is something like "Volume Shadow Copy" but I don't know

Maybe someone already has a python solution?

I have one application which created backup log file every day.But it appends that file so you can see logs for different day in one file only.
My requirement is to copy backup log for the specific day (yesterday) and write in other file.
That file will be mailed to admin for ready reference.
