Hello Michael,

No, I haven't implemented Volume Shadow Copy on this user. Getting time on her 
laptop is very difficult, even for configuration purposes. She has Outlook open 
during every backup with at least two very large, around 1.5 GB, .pst's.

Let me ask you all if this scenario works; The user logs into BackupPC GUI and 
initiates a backup through the web browser and immediately logs off their 
computer. Rsync should continue, as it is run from the server, right? 
NTSUER.dat and .PST's should then be closed for that user and be backed up as 
the files are NOT open, is this correct?

What I will need to do if my thinking IS correct is to force this method at 
least once a week on a regular 'User Chosen' night of the week. For my boss... 
this might be difficult, but she has to compromise with IT at least once a 
week...

Thanks guys,
Brian
