Yes, we have looked at Flashbackup, but we were unable to get it to work
on Windows. We were trying to backup a data only disk, no operating
system files and the backup kept failing saying it could not lock the
disk. I made sure there were no services using this disk and also that
there were no open files or open sessions. Looks to me like Flashbackup
still has a ways to go before it can be used on Windows.

    Have you tried creating the "dont_sort_dir" file, as mentioned in
some posts here a while back?

Here's a couple of links on the subject:

This seems a quick thing to try, anyway, and is worth eliminating as a
cause.

Good Luck!

        Have you talked to your local SE about using Flashbackup?

                I've got a similar problem as an open case with veritas
backline support.

                =20

                its on a solaris client, so slightly different but nbu
5.0 all the same, about 2.5m files in the backup, which times out
eventually after crawling along for awhile.

                =20
