Hmmmm...

We were looking at an updated version of Norton Antivirus that has a feature
to not scan files that are "Opened for backup" - According to the Norton
technical document: "This setting causes NAVCE to ignore backup open calls,
which are the specific API's that are used by backup software."

I assumed that TSM would use these API's - and when I tested this it seemed
to work!  Should it have worked?  When not using the NT Backup API is it
possible to still "open the file for backup"?

Thanks,
