Re: Does TSM lock files when backup/archiving?

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
