Just to expand on a post that one of my peers submitted yesterday. 

We were looking at the readmes for patch NB_45_3_M_253844.winnt.intel.exe
and the instructions mentioned the following...

1) Close all NetBackup Windows.
  Make sure the NetBackup server has no active backups, restores,
  duplications, etc., running. If there are NetBackup activities in process,
  the Maintenance Pack will not install if the file to update is busy.

  If a database client is being used, such as Oracle, ensure that the
  database services are stopped.  Database services can be stopped via the
  ControlPanel -> Services tool.  Repeat this until all databases have been
  stopped. These services must be restarted once the patch is successfully
  installed.

Are we to understand that if the client we are patching is running 
a db client (Oracle,sql, exchange...) we need to bring those databases
down to cleanly install the patch?  Anyone have experiences with this???
What a bummer to have to interrupt production to install a Netbackup patch.

TIA
