I have to throw the BS flag here.  That's just FUD.

Until Microsoft finally came up with VSS in w2k3, the OS vendor
provided *zero* tools for open file backups.  Veritas had been filling
that void since... what, 3.2 c. 1999 or so?  OTM (pre 4.5fp6) and the
Veritas-written replacement, VSP, functioning in the horribly flaky
world of Microsoft device drivers, do a pretty good job of getting a
consistent version of write-locked files that the OS won't otherwise
allow to be read.  The admin had to do his part--configure VSP, have
the snap space and not let his PC's antivirus program lock the snaps.

And while I'm being bitchy, are there more than three people left on
this mailing list WITH THE COURTESY TO EFFING TRIM THEIR 400-LINE
REPLIES?
