Anyone? I tried the antivirus exclusion suggested earlier, but that didn't 
help. I still have open files not being backed up. I do have (or had) the 
Open File Manager, which we used to use under NW 7.3.x. Anyone know if 
that works in NW 7.5.2? (soon to be 7.6.2) Or is there some VSS-related 
configuration I can use? (I can't found anything like that in my searches)

Any advise appreciated.
