Hopefully there is a work-a-round or something. At my employer we are running several workstations who work on Quark/Illustrator/Photoshop docs off a network. In addition to using our daily tape backup, by boss also uses a external Firewire drive to backup. In the past (OS9) this was a snap, just drag n' drop and when you would come to a file that a user was working on, you would get a dialog box enabling you to continue while just skipping that one open file.

Now, OS X, In doing this "Drag n' Drop" backup when you come to a file that is open, OS X alerts you with an Error Dialog with no option to continue, and when you click "okay", it cancels to whole operation. You have now idea where you were, if you start again, the same thing with happen, whenever a user has any doc open at the time.

This is LAME! My boss says that he never boots in to OSX for that reason alone.

Any ideas around this, besides Using Retrospect or third party software. Maybe that is what we have to do, I dunno.

Thanks for all your help.

The Beav!
