Nancy, The snapshot is taken of the entire disk. Files may not be open at the creation of the snapshot but could be modified later on when the backup is running. regards, Kurt

I have been reading the documentation from the 5.3 client, and I checked the Quick Facts file, but I am still unsure. Sometimes the manual's wording makes me think that the entire volume is snapshot, and other times it appears that only the open files are snapshot and the rest are backed up from their original location.
