About the TDP then it depends on which TDP you are talking about, for example: if it is the TDP for Oracle then RMAN handles the database consistency, if it is the TDP for MSSQL then the standard MSSQL-API's handle database consistancy etc..
but in short some kind of locking happens when using TDP but usually there are standard API's that handle databaes consistancy. best regards, Arni Snorri Eggertsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Etienne Brodeur" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 04, 2002 8:06 PM Subject: Does TSM lock files when backup/archiving? > I was told by a vendor that TSM does not lock files while backuping, not > even for "a nanosecond".
