Syncback won't copy locked or open files unless you purchase the full
edition. IMO, that's too serious of a limitation to make it worth using.

By the way Andy, when you toppost like that and the OP's original
message is placed below your sig line, that OP message disappears from
your reply, making attribution a nightmare. Please consider at least
putting your sig file all the way at the bottom.

TIA.
