If VSP is turned off and you start getting files NOT backed up, then it
means its an open file, and NetBackup was unable to perform a backup of that
file or files.
 
If VSP is turned on, and it comes across the SAME files it could not backup,
but this time it DOES back them up, then it means VSP is working.
 
NetBackup does a good job of most file types, whether they are in use or
not. VSP / VSS (Win2k3 only) has the ability to allow open files to be
backed up.
 
Of course, this is not the case if you have SQL / Oracle / Exchange as you
will require an agent for this.
 
Does this help?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] VSP question



Nb 5.0 mp6 Solaris 9 

If VSP is turned off / disabled for a client, will netbackup still back up
open files and open registry keys? A co worker is telling me that with VSP
off open files will still be backed up. And the way to tell is to run a
backup with VSP turned off and see if the backups completes with a 0. If it
does then the files are getting backed up (meaning nothing is getting
skipped). I am thinking no here. That open files and registry keys will be
skipped if VSP is turned off for a client.
