Hmmmm...

We were looking at an updated version of Norton Antivirus that has a feature
to not scan files that are "Opened for backup" - According to the Norton
technical document: "This setting causes NAVCE to ignore backup open calls,
which are the specific API's that are used by backup software."

I assumed that TSM would use these API's - and when I tested this it seemed
to work!  Should it have worked?  When not using the NT Backup API is it
possible to still "open the file for backup"?

Thanks,

Tim Rushforth

TSM does not use the NT Backup APIs; rather, it uses the Win32 File I/O
functions for accessing files.
