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.

The Windows Open File Backup tab contains the following options.

See Add button.

See Remove button.

See Enable Windows Open File Backups.

See Snapshot Provider.
