We use ntbackup to back up our server each night. Normally this works
fine but since introducing a remote access solution for staff it seems
that if staff leave a server based program open on their workstations
the backup system doesn't back the files up.

This is beginning to get problematic as some important data is being
excluded from the backup.

Other than trying to make sure that staff close programs is there
anything else I can do to make sure that the data is backed up
successfully?

Is there a way of automatically closing programs at a certain time?

thanks in advance.
