Hi,

How Acronis product copies files occupied by other programs.for example, if new records are written to the database?

 

Thanks!

Roman, welcome to these User Forums.

The answer to your question is 'It depends...'

If your database program 'plays nicely' with the Microsoft VSS snapshot service, then this would normally be used to capture the information for the backup task.

If your database program has an exclusive lock on the database and will get upset at any other task trying to copy information, then you would either have to use the tools provided with the database program to make backup copies of the data, or else ensure that the database program is not active when making the backup with True Image.
