Issue with NetBackup & certain DBF Files

[dlocas]

Hi All,

We have a particular sub folder that we are trying to backup.. which contains more sub folders, DBF files and CDX files. Most of it appears to backup as expected to the exception of a few (not all) DBF files. The error that we keep getting is -> (WIN32 6: The handle is invalid. )

I compared permissions with other DBF files that do backup properly, and I don't see any discrepancies. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

DBF is normally  the extention for databases, such as Oracle.
Three ways you can back it up:
Shut down the database and run normal file system backup
Use the database backup utility to backup to disk; Use filesystem policy to backup disk dumps
Use the appropriate NetBackup agent to backup the database

What type of backup you are taking ?

Normally a dbf file is a database file.
