I have been using RecordNow to backup a set of files onto DVDs, but it failed on a new laptop (possibly because of installing Vista SP1, possibly due to the DVD writer hardware). I decided to try ImgBurn based on a glowing recommendation from another user. ImgBurn refuses to copy two files because it claims they are in use. I agree that 'names.nsf' is not writable, but I successfully was able to copy the file and RecordNow never complained in the past. I shutdown the application that writes to the file but suspect that it is open read-only by another application.
The 'a_nhoeller.nsf' file is puzzling. No other application should be using this file. In fact, after exiting ImgBurn, I was able to rename the file. The strange thing is that ImgBurn is now happily backing up that file, although in three previous tests, the backup failed.
Is there a way to get ImgBurn to backup files even if it cannot get exclusive access? I tried setting the 'Ignore I Use Files' option, but that seems to cause ImgBurn to write binary zeros into both files. During the verify step, I cannot seem to skip those files and verify the rest.
Thanks, Norbert
