Can Windows Server Backup backup files that are in use?

In: Windows, Windows XP, Windows Vista [Edit categories]

Answer:

Windows Server Backup provides only basic backup and recovery solution. You need a software that uses Microsoft's volume shadow copy service (VSS) to backup open and locked files so that there is no need to close the programs you are working on. There is a good software that has this feature called Genie Timeline Server I've read some good reviews about it recently.
