Hi Networkers,
Could any one please let me know why there are no open files during backup from 
Unix/Linux clients like windows.


There probably are, but UNIX has a more sophisticated approach to locking files. In UNIX it is still possible to read a file when it is being used by another user. If a file changes while it is being backed up, NetWorker will display a warning, but this is not regarded as fatal.
