Does anyone know how to run backup without having it return an error (>0)if it encounters an open file. Currently I am doing the backup by
"find . | backup.."
I know that some of the files are open, and don't expect them to backup. I want to be able to check the error flag and send myself a message whether or not the backup was successful. Thanks
