I've inherited a legato backup system and need assistance.  

I have found 30 tmp files in c:\program files\legato\nsr\tmp on an exchange
server I'm backing up, of which 8 are over 700 mb.  They are dated since
June.  A bunch are from 6/29, 9/6, etc. - no logical pattern that I can
tell.  The large ones are from the past month, with four being from last
week alone which concerns me (besides the fact that I'm running out of disk
space).

As far as I can tell, the backups are running, but I also see these entries
in the log about orphan files but they don't all match the files that are in
the tmp directory.

* fs.domain.com:MSEXCH:IS  fs.domain.com: MSEXCH:IS 51 MB 00:01:03 10 file(s)
* fs.domain.com:MSEXCH:MB savegrp: suppressed 67 lines of output - check
daemon.log for details.
* fs.domain.com:MSEXCH:MB  Found an orphan file C:\Program
Files\Legato\nsr\tmp\nsrxch04836_0483.tmp
* fs.domain.com:MSEXCH:MB  fs.domain.com: MSEXCH:MB 5871 MB 04:07:48 1484
file(s)
* fs.domain.com:MSEXCH:MB  Found an orphan file C:\Program

* fs.domain.com:MSEXCH:MB  Found an orphan file C:\Program

* fs.domain.com:MSEXCH:MB  Found an orphan file C:\Program

* fs.domain.com:MSEXCH:MB  Found an orphan file C:\Program
Files\Legato\nsr\tmp\nsrxch05092_1436.tmp
* fs.domain.com:MSEXCH:MB  Found an orphan file C:\Program
Files\Legato\nsr\tmp\nsrxch05492_1432.tmp
* fs.domain.com:MSEXCH:MB  Found an orphan file C:\Program
Files\Legato\nsr\tmp\nsrxch05492_1433.tmp 

Based on the few postings I read here, I tried to stop the networker service
and delete the files but I'm unable to (access denied)

Questions I have are:
1)  Is it safe to delete these tmp files?
2)  If yes, why am I getting access denied when I try to move or delete
them? I've verified that it's not a permissions issue and I have stopped the
Networker Remote Exec Service.  I can't see any other service or process
that would be using the files.

Thanks for any help.
