Would somebody explain why amanda can't backup Windows files over SAMBA
that are open?  I'm confused by this because I know that multiple people
can open a file on a Windows share over a network (or at least I thought
they could).  If multiple people can open a file on a Windows share, why
can't amanda open and read that same file even though it's open?
