While improving my (personal) backup system, I noticed, that I cannot copy certain locked files, like the windows registry files. Is there a way to copy such things? Or a specific solution for the registry (I know of the regedit->File->Export ,,solution'' but this is to text format and seems slow). AFAIK, on Linux the locking system is advisory and on Windows it is mandatory. Can I somehow bypass the mandatory-ness for backup purposes etc.? TIA.
I use Java and can write additional code in C,C++,C# if necessary. Oh, and having written that, this question also qualifies for stackoverflow, hmmm. – KarolDepka – 2010-04-10T13:43:50.153
Also do You know, how commercial backup programs handle this (if at all)? I am gonna test Acronis ,,Backup and Recovery'' app soon. – KarolDepka – 2010-04-10T14:58:41.977
