Bareos-FD Errors on Windows: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

[Joshua ODonnell]

Hi All,

 I've been using Bareos to backup about 15 different machines including FreeBSD, Ubuntu, Ubuntu on VirtualBox VM, and Windows. They've run pretty flawlessly but I've run into an issue backing up one of the Windows laptops that within the last two months have started spewing out FD errors. It worked fine the prior 8 months so I'm asking for your collective help on how to fix it.

VSS is turned on. Here is a dump of my client, job, jobdefs, and fileset configs.

Also included some sample error messages and then a completed job message.

Thank you for your time,

Joshua
