Hi Jennifer, I have come across this problem before with Netbackup 4.5
but that was about 18 months ago. I would be surprised if Veritas have
not dealt with this issue in one of their most recent versions of
netbackup. What version are you using?
We could not delete the cacheFile either - until we rebooted the server!
It would be worth logging a call with veritas if you have a support
contract.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Veritas Snapshot Feature

Hi guys - 

        Is there an easy way to disable the Veritas Snapshot for Windows
feature (not that I want to, but the Windows admins want it off of their
servers)?  From what I have read over the weekend, it looks like this is
an
integral piece of the backup process and cannot be disabled.  However,
the
'leftover' files are not getting deleted and they are 'crashing'
servers.
Of course, this is because the C: drives only have 4G total, and they
are
getting full, and so they want to delete these files first.  

        The leftover files are the _vxfiVspCacheFile_2.tmp files that
are on
each volume... And sometimes they get left behind, probably when a
backup
job fails, is interrupted, or cancelled.  This seems to happen quite a
bit
in our environment which needs a bit of coaxing right now.  Is there an
easy
way to delete these files as well?  Stopping the NBU service and trying
to
delete it doesn't work, and it doesn't appear that there are any
processes
that have it open.

Thanks!

Jennifer
