CreateFile(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.32) #315

Closed Dan-Essin closed 1 month ago

Dan-Essin commented 1 month ago

Question I get this when running 2 instances from the command line but not If I start them from shortcuts on the desktop.

Why?

How to prevent this from happening?

What effect does this have on the backup? Does it or does it not copy files?

Indicates that the file could not be opened because another process already has the file open. However, since System Volume Information is an area for drive management, it is normally excluded from copy targets.

That's nice to know, so why the error message?
