Yes, 8.6 added support for the "Restrict Anonymous" key. i.e. with the proper reg hack, BE 8.6 can backup the system state even if null sessions have been disabled on the machine you are attempting to back up.

Usually Back up exec will skip over files that are in use unless you install and deploy this agent. I never had this problem with version 8.5.

Identical problems here. Occurs seemingly at random on our production and development domains. Have been wondering about it myself. Here's a transcript of a typical log. If you run the job the next morning or even immediately afterwards, it'll fail again or work just fine, depending on how it is feeling. Any suggestions most welcome.
