I'm experiencing the same issue with an access denied error being thrown when robocopy encounters filenames and folders with extended characters (ex. accented characters). Thanks for the tip about the //FFT switch tip - I was experiencing the same issue with all files being considered "newer" - using that switch fixed the issue for me as well.</p> Did you ever happen to figure out the issue with extended characters?

I am seeing these "Access Denied" messages for a few Exchange mail files. The files have alphanumeric names of 8.3 format and have no special characters in the names. I can "type" the files just fine in their original location but when I try to "type" them inside the snapshot, I get the message. Although, there are several sibling files of similar type and size in the snapshot that I can "type".</p> I am also using a similar solution based on Robocopy.

I'd be interested to know of others using similar techniques. I've now incorporated this in to backtrac, the backup application I have blogged about in a future post.</p> Cool, let me know how it goes.

I've been looking for a way to utilize shadow copies so as to back up locked files (I have one program running on a pc at night that locks three files I'd like to back up). Presently I have to close the offending program and run the backup manually. Not a big deal as it goes quickly, but it does mean it doesn't get done each night. I'll be trying this solution.</p> Very nice.
