Re: [Veritas-bu] Million file backup issue

I am a unix person, but I believe the VSP is installed with it, as I
have never had to install it but I set a number of servers to use it.

I'm guessing this is the case that because this is an IDS monitoring box
the directories and files on that volume are constantly in use. I
suppose then the raw backup will never work?
You'll have to excuse my ignorance with windows clients but isn't VSP
installed with the client software or do i need to install it
separately? I can't recall seeing it on the windows cd i have.
cheers

That will typically "kick everyone off" in the same manner that a reboot
would. I suspect you'll see something like:
