    AOFO is a technology to allow you to backup files which are opened during the time of the backup.  You just need to go to Tools --->  Install Licence keys and options to enable it.  Once enabled, your backup would included opened files which are previously not backed up and hence the size will increase accordingly.

If your jobs truly are failing just because of the DR file message, then check that the alternate DR file location does exist as if you specify a location that does not actually existing it can cause problems creating the file in the first place.

Also if this job has more than one server in the backup selection list then test with one server at a time as I think we have seen in the past if one server in a job legitimately cannot create a DR file, then all the subsequent servers in the job will also fail it.

Finally PKH is correct if the job does have a problem with a component on the server, this might cause the DR file error and you should troubleshoot this other problem instead of the .dr message.
