Hi.

I was hoping someone could help. I'm trying to backup my music collection from a NAS to an external HDD. I left FFS and when I returned some files copied, but many didn't.

The error says: Error Code 32: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (BackupRead)

I've read on another topic about using Process Monitor but I don't know how to share the logfile I saved!

As you can tell I need clear and simple instructions ;-)

Thanks
Jake

Start up a Process Monitor (https://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx) trace, retry the operation and let it fail, stop the trace and send the pml file to me via email for analysis. (see FFS's about dialog for my email).

This looks like a situation where VSS should be started, but currently isn't. Maybe this is a small todo for FFS.

The Process Monitor trace will hopefully answer most questions, but you may also answer the following ones if you can:

What kind of file is it that fails to be copied?
Is it sparse?
Does it have alternate data streams?
Is it really locked by another application?
Are you running FFS elevated with admin rights?

The problem in the PML file is the same as discussed in this thread
viewtopic.php?t=446
except that the workaround to use a different copy routine does not work.

All copy routines fail with "NAME NOT FOUND" when trying to copy the alternate data stream "AFP_AfpInfo" from "Shoot The War Pigs.m4a".

It's strange that I'm not seeing "Error Code 32" (ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION) anywhere, but only NAME NOT FOUND.

What error message did you see when you created the pml file?
