I would turn VSP off unless you need to backup open files.
OTM was in the older versions and that option should no longer be
available.
You have to go to the Master Properties -> Client List -> To change the
VSP options in 5.1.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] VSS In Netbackup


Hi again
Posting a lot today, although pleased to report most of my issues are in
hand and more or less resolved!

My next case is the backups that fail with 156 - investigations shows
its to
do with VSS, but what is the VSS and how is this associated with
Netbackup
5.x ?

I recall the 3.4 NBU used something called OTM - which I think was
called
Open Transaction Manager which allowed opened files to be backed up!!
(correct me if I am wrong).

As I do not see a license key for this Veritas solution (known as VSP),
I
can only assume that Netbackup thinks its using the Microsoft version!
But
how? Is it just configured from the "Manage" option under the shares and
configured? Or is there more to it that that!

If anyone has any input, suggestions to use / not to use or any
drawbacks,
please feel free to reply.

Thank you once again
