Guest Danno Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Hello, Backups are skipping the following files on a Windows Server 2003 SP1 box: C:\Windows\Security\edb.log C:\Windows\Security\tmp.edb This server happens to be hosting Exchange (it's the Front End box) but I don't believe this is related to Exchange. I see this directory and database/transaction logs for all of our Windows Server 2003 machines. I'm not having any luck finding articles that explain why these files are being skipped but from the error we get it's stated the files are unable to be opened. Any thoughts? Thanks,
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Re: C:\Windows\Security\edb.log and tmp.edb Hello Danno, These files are in use by Windows itself and with ntbackup, i assume, it is not possible to backup open files. You have to use another software, which can backup open files like BackupExec from Symantec.

Guest Jayesh Patil Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Re: C:\Windows\Security\edb.log and tmp.edb Hi Dear, I'm using TSM Backup, but these files are missing every time. Will you please let me know whether these files can be excluded and will have no problem while Restoring system from Backup ? Many Thanks.
