Hi Rene,

See Thread #444304 Message #444898, to be able to make a complete backup of a folder without forcing everyone to get out of the database.

For security reason, you might want to place filelocks() to prevent other users making changes during backup.

Walter,


>Dear everyone
>How can you make a backup copies of your foxpro program folder during run time when you issue eg., copy file C:\fox\*.* to d:\mycopy\*.* without creating an error "file is in use". I laready tried the "close all" command but it did not work. Thanks
