Chris, As others have said, bpfis looks after any snapshot/frozen image processing, and interacts pretty heavily with VCB (you will actually see all the relevant VCB logging in the bpfis legacy log).
Those bpfis processes will stay in place until either the VCB resources (or VSS/VSP resources for the local machine backup) they are interacting with on the local system are released, independent of the usual Netbackup processes. Hmm. Although you mention you are using NBU7 - are you still using VCB, or have you moved across to vStorage based backups? For VCB there is a touch file lock that is created in the Netbackup somewhere, but I can't remember precisely where. I think its in <install>\NetBackup\online_util\fs_cntl ; but i don't have any outstanding locks on any of my environments, so can't confirm. Check for those files, as well as residual image structure in your VCB snapshot volumes; also still running vmounter.exe processes (or is it vmmount? Something like that).

I am getting problems first of all with backup jobs completing but the parent job stays active, this is just on a few VM servers using VCB. Secondly, when i look at the processes using bpps there are loads of bpfis processes sitting there. Ending netbackup doesn't clear them so I just wondered if anyone had come across this before?
