Gary,

 Do you have a PMR number for this? Does look to be a problem. I played
around with a couple of directories and sure enough everytime I backup up a
directory that has files in use the session crashes. Point to a dir that I
know isn't in use and the backup runs fine.

That part that is a little strange is that 3.7.1 is working on other NT
boxes without any problems. The two that I'm having trouble with are running
Oracle and SQL. We are using the agents to backup up the database. At this
point the DBA's do their magic and we rely on *SM to pick up the output of
the backups that the DBA's run.

                Curt,

                Look in the error and scheduler logs for failure messages.
Some of my clients were getting messages with an error code of 933 and
termination of the backup process.  I have this on an ETR with IBM, but
haven't had a response yet.  I got around the problem by excluding the
failing file from backup (it was usually ntuser.dat.log and ntuser.dat).
