OFO: Unable to get minimum quite time... Revisited..

[davejung]

'OFO; unable to get minimum quite time on \server\folder...

Ive seen this problem listed here before and the answer seems to basicly be "Stop the service causing the problem while you do the backup". We backup automaticly at 3am when no one is here and really dont want to stop/start services and just hope everything restarts. BUT my main question is this problem has just started with one of our servers, we have not added or upgraded anything on it to cause a change. There are no new services running that were not running before. Is there someway short of stoping a service, one by one, and trying a backup in between to determin which is causeing the problem? About the only thing I see really active durring the backup period is our virus scanning software (inoculatIT) which has always been running. Any helpfull hints out there? This is occuring on a print server.
Thanks, Dave

Check your Open File Option settings on the remote server.
Go to the Open File Option wizard in Backup Exec 8.6, change the minimum quiet time from 5 to 3.
Test the backup.

In version 8.5 there is a registry key that can be changed as the 8.5 OFO wizard does not have the setting.
