How does DataAssure handle open files?
Open files are an issue in most backup environments. If a file is open exclusively on a workstation, it is the server’s responsibility to stop anyone else, including a backup package, accessing that file. To help counteract these issues DataAssure has a range of options which attempt to handle open files. These options, combined with use of the Pre and Post commands, should enable the backup of almost any file. More complex environments such as Oracle or Sybase can usually be configured to dump their data into a normal file which will be delta blocked and backed up as normal.
