Yup. That's part of the reason why you have to use "special" versions of NTBackup/etc to backup Exchange and SQL servers. As these files are always in use, there is no way you can read 'em. On a Unix system, you can still access/backup your SQL databases as files - even when they are in use. Whether that's a good idea I leave for others to discover the hard way... ;-) Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
