Re: backup failing occasionally

They do have a virus scanner that we are not familier with running (Panda).

We will try this.

Thanks

usually caused by a virus scanner holding onto the file for a short while.
In some places in the server code, we have worked around that nonsense;
however, I doubt it was done in v9 and perhaps that particular instance of
the problem was missed. Try renaming the old file then deleting it then
running your new backup.

ABout once every two weeks, on one of our customers servers, the backup

'Unable to create backup file "D:\EMR\database\backup\emr.db"'

There is no emr.db file in the backup directory after this occurs (it
appears to delete the original one from the previous backup)

There are no messages in the console log at this time either.

We have looked for other processes that might be running at this that
could
be interfering but do not see anything. There is sufficcient disk space.
