One of the daily backup needs is that you'll have to work with files that are used by other applications or the operating system you are using. The common error when you try to copy these files again is usually “The action can't be completed because the file is open in System. Close the file and try again. ” And the need arises, how can I copy these files to back up these files? With HoboCopy above problem will be solved quickly and effectively.

Previously, to copy these files, administrators would use the Volume Shadow Service (VSS, roughly translated: disk image creation service) to "create an image" of the hard drive before copying and then later. copy from this "image" rather than directly from the running hard disk. This service is time consuming as well as not every regular user is familiar with it. HoboCopy is a simple solution for copying "locked" files.

HoboCopy is a tool that uses the command line when you have to manually type the source and destination directories when prompted. For those who have used the Microsoft DOS operating system, these command lines are very familiar. The command-line structure should look like this, and the drive letter and profile (your computer's account name) may look different:

HoboCopy D: \ Windows \ System32 \ config \ SAM D: \ MrP \

For example, I will copy the SAM file from the path D: \ Windows \ System32 \ config to the MrP folder in the "parent directory" D: \ Backup.

For casual users, don't worry too much because HoboCopy has a version using an interface called Hobo GUI. All you need to do is select the source and destination paths for Hobo to copy the "locked" files to. After completing the above operations, you press the BACKUP button to copy the process.
