IIRC, with the 3.7.1.0 client, I was getting Dr. Watsons when it reached
user files that were already in use or open during the backup, upgrading to
the 3.7.1.06 fixtest client solved the problem for me.  Someone else on the
list also had the same problem and said the fixtest solved it for them, so
that is why I tried it.  It's probably in the archives.

John:

What version of the client software were you using, that generated these
Dr. Watson errors and stop the scheduler?  Also, what version are you using
now, that has fixed the problem?

Thanks and later
