you might get by with turning norton off, but doubt this. Because norton is a active scanning virus protector. Those are the files you are hitting and may have to exclude from the backup process.

I have one unrelated backup question: My system runs periodic system backups, and almost invariably it stops and puts up a dialog saying it can't backup a file because another program is using it. I close everything out and try to resume but it fails again on the same file. Then I try skipping it and find there are dozens of files that cause the same error. I then abort the backup altogether. The files it hangs on are all related to Norton, or at least they are in a symantech app data folder. So does this mean I have to shut down Norton in order to do a regular system backup? Any thoughts welcome.

(http://www.terrabyteunlimited.com). Yes, you must image an entire partition at once; but the restoration process can be *fully* automated, full console operation allows for scripted (and of course scheduled) backups, and their TBIView program allows copying of files from the proprietary images in a Windows Explorer-style interface.
