OK, to all
Regarding the move to unicode file spaces. Is this something that people
are doing (have done), as a matter of course or just if the need arises.
For me this is the first time I have come across the problem of some files
not backing up correctly and I'm a little loath to now be faced with
backing up our entire client base again.
What are your thoughts

I see...you are attempting a compensation for the snapshot
requirements issue.
I would recommend stepping back and looking at the big picture,
afresh: avoid "digging a deeper hole" in this scenario. In
particular, a modern computer which has less than 5 GB of available
disk space is ridiculously in need of either housekeeping or disk
upgrade, where the latter can be internal, external peripheral, or
networked disk space - which is to say that there are many
opportunities. The client owner should consider that the running disk
may be of considerable age now, and may be worth replacing with a
much more capacious disk, which will avoid all the problems involved
should the old disk suddenly die - particularly as it sounds like
there is not a complete backup now for that disk. Or, the Windows
computer may be so old that it is worth wholly replacing. You are, in
effect, being mired in a problem which really belongs to the client
owner. If you find no cooperation there, consider pursuing
conventional Incremental backup, dealing with open files via retries
or software subsystem shutdown during the backup, depending upon
what's keeping them open.
