Windows Data move

Hi,

I have about 6 gb of data that I need to move to another server.  I tried copying it from 1 server to the other but it failed as many of the files are in use.  Is there a simple tool that could back it up and I could move it (without making the data inaccessible).

Thanks

I do the obvious:  End user activity. We just did move the data from a Server 2003 to a Server 2012 and did it after hours. No issue whatever.

servers also have the option to view shares and disconnect, do this prior to copying data.
