Well...there is a Windows API for opening files specifically for backups. Some
virus-protection software (Symantec [Norton] Anti-Virus) allows you to exclude
all files opened for backup purposes, regardless of the application opening the
file.
The Bacula documentation states that Bacula backs up Windows systems using the
Windows API calls, so virus protection software should be able to easily exclude
Bacula.
