Warnings: locked files

On Windows, some files can be locked by other processes (commonly DB files).

Behavior

In FULL mode, when a file copy fails because the OS locked the file: - the backup does not fail - the file is skipped - the backup folder contains locked-files.txt

The console logs a warning with a tip to exclude file extensions.

Where to find details

Check:

plugins/Mina/ConfigGuard/backups//locked-files.txt

It includes: - total skipped file count - list of skipped relative paths

Recommendation

Exclude DB extensions in FULL mode, for example:

  • .db
  • .sqlite
  • .mv.db
