TSM uses the Win32 File I/O CreateFile() function to open files for
backup. We do pass in the FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS flag when we open the
file, so maybe NAVCE somehow detects this. But I don't know for sure.

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.
