    Windows Backup

    Although the company has a backup strategy, as it is my work at risk, I would
    like to have my own backup.

    I was using Windows Backup but I have notived that seesm to omit databases
    (BE's) that are in use.

    Have I missed an option/setting or is this correct? If so, what are my
    options.

    Thanks

    It has been my experience that most (if not all) backup programs
    exclude all files in use including any of the other ms-office products.

        use something like Arvin Meyer's KickEmOut (www.datastrat.com) . If
        you want to quit the app at a specific time, you could have a form that
        checks the current time every X number of minutes, and if it's the time
        you want, run Arvin's code, and then quit the app. then everything
        will get backed up as it should.

          Thanks folks.

          I do have a KickEmOut type function already in there but did not want to use
          it for this.

          I've opted for an out of hours back up routine using another networked pc.
