Hello,

 

I'd like to know if BERS 2010 server can backup opened file in a desktop, like as pst file, and if it backup a opened pst file withotu integrity issues.

Thanks.

BESR uses the Volume Shadow Copy mechanism to backup files, so I'd go for yes.

Hi,

never tested with Outlook opened

but, if selected in job options, as BESR can work with VSS snapshot you should be able to save an entire PC without problem.

Test and enjoy ...

Regards.

The filter driver that BESR uses, SymSnap, works by backing up the entire file system, not by doing a file-by-file backup. Open files are unaffected by this type of backup, so open PST files should backup just fine.
