Brad,
the ADSM NT-client seems not to be able to gain access to files that are
in use by any system service. According to the ADSM manual one should
use the option shared static or shared dynamic (for SERialisation) to
get open files backed up.

On IBM's OS/2 the option works, on NT 4.0 it fails. There is 3rd party
software available to solve the problem (e.g. OpenFileManager from St.
Bernards Software), but I think IBM are responsible for the bug.
I need to backup open files, too and try to find workarounds to get all
the open files saved. I hope IBM will fix the bug, as I do not really
want to buy external software to fix IBM's bugs.

Regards,
 Michael
