To solve this problem, Steelgate Technologies' Online Backup can be used with the optional SQL and Exchange Plug-ins to make sure that these open and locked database files get backed up successfully. Additionally, Steelgate's Online Backup now has an Open File Backup protection which takes advantage of Microsoft's VSS Option ensuring open files are not skipped.

• The exchange and sql plugins are already included in the demo client when you download our client software. 
• There is nothing more to install on the client machine besides the steelgate client software.
• The plugins are initially installed with a 30 day demo license.
