[Samba] Re: Save open access databases

[Liaan van der Merwe]

Hallo all
I'm having more or less same problem.
Have a outlook pst file on a smb share and everytime i do backups (using
tar) it says: file change while backing up. and backup stops...
My workaround, stop smb share then backup, then start...
Is there maybe better way to do this??
thanks
regards
