If I wanted to create a backup of a MS Word document that was open, I would need to close the file before any backup was possible. With Shadow Copy, I can backup an open file, but would the unsaved changes be backed up with the snapshot of the Word document?
I am trying to create a program that automatically creates backups of file(s) using Shadow Copy (VSS). I already have the Windows Task Scheduler setup but need the batch file for execution. However, I cannot seem to understand how to create such a batch file so that I can create a backup of an open file by Shadow Copying it onto another drive.
This is for personal/basic use. I cannot grasp how to backup the unsaved information that would be "cached" in an open MS Word document. Is this even possible?
