Hello!

I'm new to backuppc  - and I've got bunch of windows workstations to  
backup :) The problem is called "open files". I've digged mailing  
lists and found few solution (like patch for 2.6 rsync enabling vss  
backup, or dosdrive.exe program with buch of scripts to mount vss  
volume as a drive letter), but they are either unsupported (like patch  
for rsync), or fragile (like dosdrive+scripts). Another idea is to  
start backup at windows shutdown. All problematic programs (like  
outlook) should be disabled by now, and few services that still could  
make problems I can disable before starting backup. Starting backup  
from pc is also not a big problem - ssh + keys with limited command to  
run will do the trick.

Does that sounds like good idea to you? Maybe somebody tried someting  
like this and could share some experiences? Frankly I couldn't find  
anything about "backup on shutdown" approach on mailing list and in  
google.

Cheers
