Does ATI 2014 Premium back up open files or not?
Amazingly, Acronis has not provided a straight answer to this question anywhere on their website or in the ATI documentation, or if they do, it's very hard to find.
The question is simple: on Windows XP and Windows 7, how does ATI 2014 Premium handle open and locked files? What does it do in files/folders backup mode and is that different from what it does in disk/partition imaging mode? Does ATI rely on Windows volume shadow copy or is it something else? Thanks.

Andy,
Your question can only be answered by Acronis but do remember.
The snapshot or backup that the program performs is a collection of used disk sectors.
When restoring these same used disk sectors are restored.
The backup & recovery program does not work at file level.
I am a user, not a technician so don't consider my answer as definitive.

Thanks for your reply. I thought that "File backup" mode was distinct from the sector by sector method that you can use in "Disk and partition backup" mode. In either case, it would be interesting to know how ATI handles open and locked files though.

Please, can somebody from Acronis answer this simple question? Is there a better way to get an answer from them than posting on forums like this?
