Nancy,

If the Microsoft SQL Server is up and running (most likely),
it has access to these files and you should NOT back them up with
the standard ADSM backup/archive client.  Results are unpredictable.
You may want to try the ADSMConnect Agent for Microsoft SQL Server.
You can get a Try and Buy version off of the ADSM web site.
It will handle your Microsoft SQL Server database backups.
