How does ACC Data Vault do Open File Backups?
When ACC Data Vault backs up a file, it can detect automatically if the file has been changed. Hence ACC Data Vault can ensure that no file is backed up incorrectly. For files that change during a backup, ACC Data Vault does a best effort attempt continuously (in the background) until the backup for the file succeeds. In a desktop/laptop environment this strategy almost never fails. However, it is important that ACC Data Vault be allowed the requisite permission to access the file(s) that are to be backed up. For example, Microsoft Outlook cannot be backed up if it is open as ACC Data Vault cannot access the requisite files (Please click here to understand how ACC Data Vault works around this problem) The best way to handle open file backups is to use ACC Data Vault’s Open File Plugin.
