Re: [Veritas-bu] WRN - can't lock raw device for read

Can’t remember exactly, but I believe you’ll have to make sure there are no open file handles on the drive at all before your raw partition backup will work if you’re not using snapshot technology.

Something you can try is download dd for windows, http://www.chrysocome.net/dd and if you can create a disk image of your partition with that, you should be able to backup the raw partition in Netbackup (assuming it’s formatted, if it’s not, that’s a different story).

Hi All,

I'm getting the above message while trying to do a raw partition back up of a W2k3 server. I turned off snap shot but it makes no difference. Does anyone have any suggestions?
