According to 
"IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows: Backup-Archive Clients Installation 
and User's Guide" page 62:

Some applications can create files and open these files in such a 
way as to deny access to all other processes on a Microsoft Windows 
operating system. ...

The following is the error message that is seen in the dsmerror.log when 
a Tivoli Storage Manager backup encounters one of these locked files 
without OFS support enabled: 

ANS4987E Error processing '\\machine1\d$\dir1\lockedfile.xyz': the object 
  is in use by another process 
ANS1228E Sending of object '\\machine1\d$\dir1\lockedfile.xyz' failed

Betreff: [ADSM-L] Open File Support for which files


Hello,

I'm testing with the OFS option on Windows and I try to left some files
open, like Access, Word, Excel, text-file on a file-server, but so far I
didn't get any open file messages.

Now I'm wondering for what kind of files (and when they appear as open
during back-up) you can use the OFS option?

Thanks,

Mike
