Open File Support (OFS) operates on a volume-level basis, i.e., all files
on the volume are eligible. There is no indication of which files were
"open" at the time they were backed up.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
