Backup Exec 2010 :: Advanced Open File

Hi Support Team,

I am using Sym Backup Exec 2010.

I have an inquiry relating to Advanced Open File option.

In the job properties dialog box, under the Settings tab, the are two child options;

- Advanced

- Advanced Open File

Refering to;

1. Under the Advanced, there is an option box;

• Open file backup when Advanced Open File not in used;

2. Under Advanced Open File, there is a option box;

• Use Advanced Open File option

My question is;

Does the options in Advanced > Use Advanced Open File option (ie: Never / If closed within ... / With a lock / Without a lock) has any effect to Advanced Open File processing?

Currently it is set to With a lock by default.

I have disabled the option under Advanced Open File, but backup jobs still run with the AOFO: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS).

I found this option takes longer time to complete.

Please advise.
