Backup errors after windows update

[joanie]

I have not been able to run an error-free backup since running a monthly window's update about 2 months ago. My backup logs contain the path to files with the error "Client file is busy, retry" on from 50-60 files. I had been running NovaBackup for more than a year without these types of errors. I installed several different backup applications to see if the same errors were produced or to see if I could get an enhanced description of the problem. I received the same errors.

The backup is directed to a portable drive connected to a USB port.

Many of the "techies" on forums I visit use Macrium Reflect for backups. I too use this over others I've tried.

There is a free version available:
Macrium Software | Your Image is Everything

Thanks, but I ran a backup with Macrium Reflect earlier. I received same errors. I''ve concluded it's not the backup software, but a fairly recent modification to a windows update.
