A friend of a friend of a friend tells me that this is a 'feature' of
BackupExec.  Rather than attempting to backup an open file over and over
again, you may set an option to 'skip' the open file.  BackupExec then
copies a 'stub' to tape, allowing for it to skip the file.  Apparently, most
of the time when you restore the file, it's either a null file or a partial
copy of the original, either way being useless.

        How in the world does Veritas do this?  And if they can back the
darn things
        up can they actually restore them?

        I believe this occurs because the application takes an exclusive
lock on the
        file.  This must mean that Veritas does not check the lock before
opening
        the file.

        Perhaps the client coders can tell us how this works and speculate
on what
        Veritas is doing.

        Hi SM*

        A customer is in process of migration from Backup Exec (Veritas) to
ADSM.
        Customer complains about many NT files which he get (on ADSM)
'ANE4007E ....
        access to the object is denied'. Those files could not be copied
with
        Explorer as well,  because they are being used. On the other hand,
with
        Backup Exec( Veritas) , there were no problems.
        ADSM client on NT is still 3.1.
        Any idea? Any solution?

        Nathan
