We have used Open File Manager (OFM) from St. Bernard Software to back up
open files on our Novell servers in the past. From experience and
reviews, this software works. I still have not been able to get funding
to purchase a current version, but we gave up on OTM for Novell. It never
worked for us. I do not think VSP is available for other platforms
besides Windows, and my experience with it is: it either works fine out
of the box, or it does not work at all.

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Open files?
Agree with that! In my case, most files that it cannot touch are ignored.
I
do check them to ensure there is nothing critical, but in most cases, I do
not use anything else.
I guess, if you have a server that always has open files, you could
schedule
a command to either copy the files to another folder (so they are not
locked), or in a windows environment, stop any relevant services, allow
the
backup to run, and then restart the services.
But to answer the question, sorry I do not use anything else

Yay I know its there. But it causes more problems that to fixes. We
usually
turn it off when it creates a problem. But I was curious as to what others
do, or if they have found a better open file agent. Heck, I am event old
by
Symantec support to turn it off!

Greg
NBU does it!!! In 5.1, you can use Veritas Snapshot Provider if you like!
Mind you, majority of all my backups end in 0 and that is WITHOUT VSP
running or VSS for Microsoft Windows Clients.

How does everyone handle backing up open files? I just cant believe that
we
just skip them all the time. Does anyone use a product that will trap open
files?
