Open File Backups: How BackupAssist Handles Open Files in Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003

Overview In order to maintain a reliable and recoverable backup strategy it is essential that the backup solution provides support for backing up open files. Without having open file protection in the backup solution mission critical data files can be missed. Consequently, the backup data sets will be unreliable and incomplete, all because certain application files were in use or open during the time of the backup process. BackupAssist provides two different technologies for backing up open files in Windows environments - Snapshot Technology and Conventional File Copy. This paper explains how each technology works, where they apply, and what the advantages and disadvantages are of each method of open file support.
