    There is nothing as "better" while choosing one of these options & again these are to be set only if the backup does not meet the requirements of the Advanced Open File Option.

    Again, it depends whether you want your open files to be backed up or not. If yes, then you choose between " with a lock " or " without a lock " again depending if you want the file to be exclusively used by Backup Exec during the backup.
