Utility to copy files

[Guest]

i am looking for a utility, free preferrably, to copy files from an internal
hard drive to an external hard drive for backup purposes. this utility must
be able to copy the files even if they are locked or open. i have tried the
win explorer and also robocopy via command prompt and it will stop the
copying process at that point.

thanks for any suggestions!

You might give this a try -- There's a "free" version which does MUCH more
than Windows Explorer and naturally you are encouraged to purchase the "pro"
version. But the free version does most of what any average user would need.

Try xxcopy -- it's a super set version of windows xcopy, and also creates
disaster recover image and diskettes. xxcopy.com
