Why an Open File Solution is so Important

Data storage requirements have grown exponentially in the past few years as more businesses embrace the Internet. Mission critical data must be available without interruption, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. In the past, IT administrators could safeguard data by running scheduled backups during off-hour times, when networks were guaranteed to be dormant. Now networks are always live, posing a serious risk to your backup strategy due to skipped files resulting from open, locked or in-use errors.

Backup scenarios that require closing or skipping open or locked files are not feasible. Even if a backup program at first skips the locked file and then comes back to it at the end, there is still the chance that the file will still be locked or have changed resulting in incomplete and corrupted backups.
