Windev 25 — Dump Exclusive

Pricing remains tiered:

// Backup entire database with exclusive locks on all files HBackupDatabase("C:\MyAppData\", "C:\Backups\FullBackup_" + DateToString(Today()) + ".wdb", hExclusive + hForceFileLock)

If you can provide more details on whether this is a you're seeing or if you're trying to perform a memory dump for debugging, I can give you a more specific technical walkthrough.

WINDEV 25 excels in its ecosystem flexibility:

Any active transaction attempting to write during the dump will fail with an error message like: "File locked by another application. HFSQL error code: [xxx]" . Without proper error handling, this leads to data loss for the end user.

Use dump exclusive for critical financial, inventory, or transactional data. Use standard dump for static lookup tables or logs.
