OK, to all Regarding the move to unicode file spaces. Is this something that people are doing (have done), as a matter of course or just if the need arises. For me this is the first time I have come across the problem of some files not backing up correctly and I'm a little loath to now be faced with backing up our entire client base again.

I would recommend stepping back and looking at the big picture, afresh: avoid "digging a deeper hole" in this scenario. In particular, a modern computer which has less than 5 GB of available disk space is ridiculously in need of either housekeeping or disk upgrade, where the latter can be internal, external peripheral, or networked disk space - which is to say that there are many opportunities. The client owner should consider that the running disk may be of considerable age now, and may be worth replacing with a much more capacious disk, which will avoid all the problems involved should the old disk suddenly die - particularly as it sounds like there is not a complete backup now for that disk. Or, the Windows computer may be so old that it is worth wholly replacing. You are, in effect, being mired in a problem which really belongs to the client owner. If you find no cooperation there, consider pursuing conventional Incremental backup, dealing with open files via retries or software subsystem shutdown during the backup, depending upon what's keeping them open.
