I do not agree with your coworker.

My understanding is that with VSP turned off it will skip backing up any
open files.

If your backup completes with a status 0 and VSP is turned off, it just
means it didn't encounter any open files.

Nb 5.0 mp6 Solaris 9 

If VSP is turned off / disabled for a client, will netbackup still back
up open files and open registry keys? A co worker is telling me that
with VSP off open files will still be backed up. And the way to tell is
to run a backup with VSP turned off and see if the backups completes
with a 0. If it does then the files are getting backed up (meaning
nothing is getting skipped). I am thinking no here. That open files and
registry keys will be skipped if VSP is turned off for a client.
