Creating my first task

Sometimes it can be necessary to close a program before the backup begins. Some programs open files in an exclusive way, so a backup of those files will fail if the program is open.You can use Volume Shadow Services , which you will find in the General tab to copy those files anyway.

You can also use events to solve this problem. For example, add an event to close the program (MS Word, in my example) before the backup begins. When the backup ends then Word will be open again, because we have added an After-Backup event telling the program to execute Word.
