Most of them don't run Windows and don't have Windows' limits about 
opening a file multiple times, though, so you can at least still back up 
open files.

You don't get any guarantee of consistent copies, but then you don't get 
that with Bacula on a unix or Mac system either due to the lack of a VSS 
equivalent. (I know, you can take a full file system snapshot and mount 
it as I do for my mail spool backups, but .... clumsy?!?)
