VSP cache files not deleted
Hello everyone, we are running Netbackup version 6.0 MP4 and we are running into the problem where the vsp files are not getting cleaned up. So far we've noticed the problem on two servers, both windows 2003 sp1. A reboot of the server clears these files out but they come back in a few days.
Regarding info found on this, we've come across the following:
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/270127.htm
this workaround allows us to clear out the files without having to reboot and
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/269558.htm
tells us that most likely the files are being kept open, possibly by the antivirus.
However, we have removed the antivirus off both of these machines to test and within a few days, the vsp files are on the machine and all the space is gone again.
Thanks in advance for any help on fixing this permanently.

- I posted my take on VSP, a few weeks ago, here:I'd follow Phillips advice and try using VSS instead for Win2003.
