Does anyone know how ftio copes with open files ? - the main application is a Progress database and this is not shutdown during the backup. I am concerned as experiments I have tried backing up a filesystem while deliberately keeping a file open with the more command and then trying to restore said file failed to restore successfully Wed, 13 Jul 2005 01:59:13 GMT ralph barber 2005-07-13T01:59:13Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/does-ftio-backup-open-files/m-p/3581252#M229945 Í have just moved to an environment where ftio is used as backup tool.
