MozBackup error on creating backup: The process cannot access the file

Asked By judithmads 980 points N/A Posted on - 07/13/2011

Hi guys,

I was reviewing my files in my computer, and decided to re format my computer to get optimum performance, I want to back up my bookmarks, mail, contacts, history, extensions, passwords, cache etc, so use Mozbackup, when I am about to create the back up, I meet an error that tells me that the file is in use, see below the error message that was generated by Mozbackup.

MozBackup

Cannot write to F:MozBackupSeaMonkey 1.9.0.5 – 2009-01-08.pcv<20: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another person>

Guys, this is my first time to use Mozbackup, that is why I am not familiar with this error message,

I am now asking for some help in solving this error message,

Thanks guys.

MozBackup error on creating backup: The process cannot access the file

Hello,

The problem is that Judithmads you were using that window, until and unless you could not close that window on which you are working and meanwhile using Mozbackup you could not save that file in your back up. For making backup you have to close all the windows on which you are working so that you can save them on your Mozbackup.

Its very clearly written on that error box that the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. That means you are only unable to save it because your are already using those windows. As you are not familiar with this Mozbackup that why this problem occurred.

Please try another time whether this problem could be fixed or not.

Regards.

Olive.
