Well we dont back up desktops - so outlook would not be open.
 
But I have found NBU 5.1 to perform backups with status 0 all the time. the only time I see a "1" status is if there is a file it cannot open, but even so, its not been a critical file.
 
When you enable VSS/VSP - take a look at this document.....

Might be of a point of reference. One of my sites was continually getting 156 messages and they called Veritas... (before calling Symantec. Guess what they told them to do??)
 
Answer.... turn off VSS !!!! Well it was disabled, and the backups have worked solid since.
 
I also come from a NBU 3.4 with OTM was used (open transaction manager) and that still had issues, although in some cases, it was ok.
 
I dont list .pst files :-)

Not yet - I'm still looking at it in a test environment.
 
How would you backup open windows files on Windows 2000 without it? It's quite likely that people leave Outlook open on their desktop at the end of the day and in the past this has caused open file issues (as well as any documents they might be working on).

Cons: Backups can fail with status 156
Pros: Well I dont use it - and even with AD, its not even used. and yet it still gets backed up!
 
VSP/VSS within Netbackup will need disk space. Have you tried it yet?

Hi,
 
I'm a bit of a newbie to Netbackup (but learning shed-loads rather rapidly) and have a question about VSP for open file backups. I've had some people who use this and others who don't although I've not had any reasons for either case.
I'm wondering if it's generally a good idea on things like Windows file servers (where especially pst files are often open), DHCP and DDNS servers (non Active Directory DDNS). On Windows 2003, it seems VSS is better for open file backups (although this may be wrong).
What are the cons with using VSP?

 
Cheers,
