Thanks to Roberta Clark, Harry.Pfeffer, Mike E. White, Nuno Vitoria, Rick Starr,
Vance_Brasher, and Bill Hassel for the replies. The consensus was that
Data Protector will back up the opened files as expected. We are
using BCVs for the Databases, so there's no issue there. There are
application executables that are opened that we wanted to be sure
will get backed up even if users have them opened. Looks like
Data Protector will take care of them just as Omni Back did.
Special thanks to Mike White for the good feedback on using
Data Protector in Unix and Windows environment.
Thanks.

Original Message:
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.
