Backup in-use file

[Peter CCH]

If a file is in use, is there any way to backup it?

I have an application server and some of the file is used 24 hours a
day. Is there any way to backup the file since it's in use?

In most cases you'll need to stop the process that is using the file.

Not unless the file is opened for write, append, etc Read-only will be
backed up just fine.

But not usually the case.
