    We use Data Protector extensively (700+ Unix and Windows clients using
    DP 5.10) and have not had this problem. On the Windows side yes (but we
    are now using VSS on W2k3 to help resolve that issue also), but not on
    any of the Unix flavors including Linux - ext3 or ocfs filesystems.
    Sounds to me like a salesman needing to boost his/her commission!

    Is anyone out there using Data Protector (new version of old OmniBack)?
    We've had someone from HP indicate (probably wrong) that when
    DataProtector encounters an open file it will skip it (not back it up).
    We believe that this only applies to the Win side of things where
    we know that's the case. But, someone had said that it would behave
    that way even on a Unix client. We don't believe this to be true since
    on
    our systems currently using OmniBack the client will simply back up
    the open files fuzzy. It would seem that it would still behave that
    way,
    but there are people worried that we would have to buy the "open
    file extension" for Data Protector which increases the price
    dramatically. Let us know if you have it.

    Thanks.
