You are backing up an open PST file (scan for "^^^^"and look up one line

Make sure that no one is logged on to that machine, or that outlook is closed when the backup runs.

I'd also suggest removing all the SQL database files. As long as you have the SQL agent, or are doing a SQL dum to disk and grabbing those files, you are covered.

These files are active or Open during the time backup exec is backing up them hence they are skipped.Backup exec is unable to create a lock on these files.


To get rid of this error you have to de-select each of these files from the backup selection list or use the OFO (Open file option) to back these open files.
