Can I backup open files with IDrive?
Yes, you can backup open files using the Open file Backup feature available with IDrive. This feature is available only for Windows XP, Windows 2003 servers and Windows Vista. The most common open files that can be backed up using the ‘Open file Backup’ feature are Outlook files (.pst), QuickBooks, Quicken, ACT, MS-Money, MS-Word, MS-Excel, MS-Access, MS FoxPro etc. To use this feature, from the menu bar, go to Tools > Preferences and select the ‘Enable Open file Backup (available only for Windows XP, Windows 2003 and Windows Vista)’ option. Ensure that the selected temporary location on the local computer for Open file Backup has sufficient free space to hold the open files during backup. In case your open files are not getting backed up, restart your computer and try again.
