Jim,
I would like to thank you for publishing this information.

We got bit by the windows client at 4.2.1.20 and 4.2.1.26 failing half way
through a backup because of a locked file and the backup looking successful.
The result was we lost many backups for about 10 days without realizing it.
The problem was fixed by the 4.2.2 Windows client.  I recommend everyone go
to that level if they are running 4.2.1.15 server (anything higher than
4.2.1.11).  We think the problem was introduced by us going to that level of
the server.

It would be really nice if the action you took here for this problem had
been taken for this backup integrity  problem as well.  It is really
unacceptable to lose backups or have backups with integrity problems because
of not having the information on a known problem.

This forum is documented everywhere and used by many customers.  It is a
great way to get this kind of information out.
