Acronis Installation - Files in Use

Thread needs solution

Got a warning during installation that files are in use and looks like my Symantec Endpoint is locking it. I've clicked continue nevertheless and the installation is completed.

Does that mean Acronis can work properly only after server restarts?

Hello Kent Tan,

Thank you for posting this question in our forum. I am happy to assist you. 

If you have chosen 'continue', you need to restart the machine after installation. If you have closed the related applications and stopped the services and processes, that are shown in the window, you can choose 'retry' and do not need to restart the machine, if this continues successfully.

If you need additional assistance, please create a system report of the affected machine and contact support. You will find all available support options in our Customer handbook.

If there is anything else we can do for you, please let me know.

Thank you.
