Thread needs solution

There a a bunch of 0 kb .lck files in the directory where Acronis vmProtect 8 backs up to. There's no harm deleting these correct?

Hi KJSTech,

These files may be present on the backup location and they are used to avoid conflicts (simultaneous write into the same archive). The presense of the files depends on the specifics of the share (usually such files appear on NAS-hosted shares) and its safe to delete them, while deletion is not necessary (these files do not affect the backup tasks).

Thank you.
