Robocopy not copying files in use

[dporrelli]

I'm using robocopy to do a backup of files and folders to another directory, it does most of it OK, but there are files which are in constant use which will not copy. Can anyone suggest anything?

@echo off
setlocal
SET _source=C:\nicecti
SET _dest=D:\backup
SET _what=/COPYALL /B /MIR
SET _options=/R:0 /W:0 /LOG:mylogfile.txt /NFL /NDL
ROBOCOPY %_source% %_dest% %_what% %_options%
ROBOCOPY c:\ D:\backup uniqueca.txt

These servers never get rebooted, only when an error occurs or service pack is applied.

The only way this is provided for is through the Volume Shadow Service, and none of the CMD level utilities are able to accomodate this.

Sorry.
