We use Data Protector extensively (700+ Unix and Windows clients using 
DP 5.10) and have not had this problem.  On the Windows side yes (but we 
are now using VSS on W2k3 to help resolve that issue also), but not on 
any of the Unix flavors including Linux - ext3 or ocfs filesystems.  
Sounds to me like a salesman needing to boost his/her commission!

Subject: [HPADM] HP Data Protector




Is anyone out there using Data Protector (new version of old OmniBack)? 
We've had someone from HP indicate (probably wrong) that when 
DataProtector encounters an open file it will skip it (not back it up). 
We believe that this only applies to the Win side of things where 
we know that's the case.  But, someone had said that it would behave 
that way even on a Unix client.  We don't believe this to be true since 
on 
our systems currently using OmniBack the client will simply back up 
the open files fuzzy.  It would seem that it would still behave that 
way, 
but there are people worried that we would have to buy the "open 
file extension" for Data Protector which increases the price 
dramatically.  Let us know if you have it. 

Thanks.
