    You should talk to you ERP vendor for details of how to backup their product (it is possible thay have some kind of dump to file process and/or an ability to freeze activity to allow a backup)

     

    Backup Exec's open file technology may be able top protect it, however it is also possible that

    - any backup will be inconsistent and therefore cause problems at restore time
