The fallback method does work. However, the Volume Shadow Copy method is the one you are recommending...  :smiley:

Shane:
So far I havent found any reason not to use the fallback and I like how much faster it is. MS says to use the VSS to do it, but I think that applies more for servers since I have never seen a problem with it.

Also I checked and the error from the cmd.exe "The system cannot execute the specified program." means that the file is locked and it cant read it. So your AV may be locking the file or something else is. I would just use the fallback method :-)

Yoda:
OK. I'll use the fallback method.

Thank you for your concern and especially for making these great apps!

Shane:
Happy to help :-)

Oops! Really sorry. The result is the same, but the Log_Vss.txt is different. I forgot to disable Simple Software-Restriction Policy before running the last backup.

Here is the one I'm having normally:
