Re: read failed: sharing violation

Dear Experts,

I am writing a program to backup some in used file. No matter I used
"shareDenyWrite"/"shareDenyRead"/"shareDenyNone", the using file can't
be copy.

(if using native copy, it will prompt "sharing violation" error).

How can I read/backup such files with vc? (no need to care integrity,
just want to capture a snap.

Million thanks.
