First, I have been backing up a window's server that runs Microsoft

able to find all the .ldf and .mdf files. Are we not backing up
all these
files? The databases are not being stopped. So I would guess the
files
are open. I did not receive any mail saying "The process cannot
access the
file because it is being used by another process". This happen
when the
file is open, correct? The server that is performing the backup is
running
Solairs 9 with Legato 7.2.
Second, is there a report I can run that can show me what is being
backed
up? Is this in a log file somewhere?
If you are backing up a live database without the optional SQL
module, your backups are probably useless.
You need to either shut down your database to back it up, dump the
data first, or use NSR's optional SQL module.
