Backup fails to backup open files, log indicates that windows volume shadow copy not available.
I have found posts indicating that this feature only works in Windows XP and lower.
What is the situation?
Does fbackup 5 support open file backup in Windows 7 - 8 ?
Windows 7 shadow service Supported?

Re: Windows 7 shadow service Supported?
Hi,
Volume shadow copy service works on Windows XP and NEWER/LATER (not lower).
So it should work on Windows 7.
Please make sure all other conditions are met. Is the service started on your computer?

I uninstalled everything, purged the registry of all things softland and went on to delete the uncleaned files and cleaned up the Task directory used by the scheduler.
I downloaded the final code 5.2.631 and reinstalled.
Fbackup now seems to generate the shadow files correctly.
