MDF files and LDF files of a running database are always in use by SQL server and can't be opened exclusevely by the backup program.<br />
You should use SQL server to backup the database to a .BAK file (by using a maintenance schedule for instance) and then backup that file with our backupsystem.

SQL Files being skipped - 'unable to open item' <br />
I need to ensure that my dbases are being backed up but my backup is skipping a lot of ldf and mdf files.<br />
<br />
I have the SQL Agent installed and have read about an identical situation here in EE. &nbsp;My Selections navigated through the network to the sql Server where it splits into F$ and E$. It seems &nbsp;that it is the files in these two drives cannot be accessed. I am not sure if this is the correct way to backup my sql dbases - can someone please clarify,<br />
<br />
thanks

Backup Exec skipping SQL files

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
