You probably missed all the fun a few weeks ago... :-)
...so please allow me to set the record straight.
The "failed" status when files are skipped is a *bug* in 4.2.1.0, and
there is no debate about it. This problem is documented in APAR IC31844
and fixed in patch 4.2.1.15 for the NT-based Windows clients. There is
also a patch 4.2.1.16 (which also includes the patch) for Win98 and WinMe.
As to having a means of identifying files that were open or otherwise
could not be backed up.... you make a valid point. But that is another
matter for another release.... ;-)
I'm not sure whether the other platforms have patches for this problem.
You can check the patches directory at the ftp site, and look for patches
at 4.2.1.15 or higher, which should include the fix.

Subject: Re: winNT client failure
It seems that as of version 4.2.1 the entire backup session is "Failed"
if some objects fail to back up (for all client platforms). Whether it's
abnormal or not is subject to debate. One advantage is that it is easier
to spot files that are open during backup and take action (e.g. put them
in the exclude list).
