It looks like Veritas is not stopping the SQL service before it tries to do
a backup. BCM and all other SQL databases have a "hold" on them by the SQL
service and I thought that programs like Veritas could handle that.
You might also check the BCM Team Blogs for a SQL backup solution for the
BCM databases (that could work for other databases also...).
