I don't use VSS as I never have any files locked when I sync - so I cannot say from experience. But have just checked the FreeFileSync manual and it confirms it copies locked files in the shadowed volume.

As an aside I don't know the reasoning why FreeFileSync places a file in each synced directory (on both devices being sync'd) and never pondered on it before (the files have never bothered me) but one reason may be that it somehow facilitates its avoiding copy/writes when syncing moved files???
