Hi Doug, Thanks for your response. The error message I'm referring to is: Error: C:\WINNT\? - error opening: The filename, Directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. The other error (which occurs on verify) doesn't always appear. Most of the time I get a "clean" verify, but I always and consistently get the same above backup error message... filename, Directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. I don't think it's the Real Player file (rnsystem.dat) as that file name is correct. The error message says "C:\WINNT\? - error opening, so it would appear that it can't open the file because of an incorrect file name, Directory name or volume syntax... not that the file is already open. What is an "open file agent" and where can you get it? Are you using ZoneAlarm Pro or the free version? I've heard mixed reports about the Pro version... especially when used with WIN 2000 Pro and NTFS. Are you using another software for DAT tape backup which you've found better than Backup Exec with Win 2000 Pro with NTFS? Sorry for all the questions, and I appreciate the time spent responding. It doesn't do much good to backup daily if the tapes skip files (VBG)!!! Many thanks, Marty
