Have you got WOFB set for this particular client? 

[[ In GUI: select NetBackup Management/Master Servers/master/Client Attributes/client/Windows Open File Backup, enable this & then select appropriate snapshot provider. ]]

I disable the values of both highlighted property and got the successfull backup. But why do i enable the WOFB
[[ In GUI: select NetBackup Management/Master Servers/master/Client Attributes/client/Windows Open File Backup, enable this & then select appropriate snapshot provider. ]] as Andy says???

"...
The Windows Open File Backup properties specify whether a client uses Windows Open File Backup. The properties also specify whether Volume Snapshot Provider or Volume Shadow Copy Service is used as the snapshot provider.
Snapshots are a point-in-time view of a source volume. NetBackup uses snapshots to access busy or active files during a backup job. Without a snapshot provider, active files are not accessible for backup.

 As you said NetBackup uses snapshots to access busy or active files during a backup job

My question is, does Netbackup able to take backup busy files who are contineously busy ?
