Copy database file in use in delphi

0

I use the Absolute Data Base database. It is an embedded bank with multiple network connections.

I am making a backup system to copy the .abs file generated by the database. The problem is that since the file is in use, I can not perform the copy. I have to disconnect to perform such a process.

Is there any way to make this copy of the file in use. If the system were networked, should all logged-in users be disconnected?

There is an application called Cobian Backup, by the way, it's free. There is an option called shadow copy. By enabling it you can copy the file in use.

Most backup applications have this option.

I do not know what your case is, but if you do this programmatically you will need to know how to use the shadow copy feature.
