this is a win2k3 server...i'm using Veritas 9.1...i've noticed that i can
never change, del, modify the files because they're always in use...is there
a way i can block about 30min of time off of these files?...my backup on that
particular server only takes on avg 25-30min, and those files will be backup
up within the first 10min of the backup...i think they won't backup because
they're open, and i don't want to pay $500 for an open file option from
veritas because of 3 files.

thanks,
