Hello
I did a test restore on a small section, very small section, of my backup. so once it restore to a non intrusive location I checked the files and started to delete them since this was only a test. How ever it looks like there was on file opened during the back up because when I try to delete it it tells me it cannot delete it because it is being used by another person. This is not the case. is this an issue or am I looking at it wrong?

Hi,
The backup catalog (.fkc file) might be in use by FBackup if that backup job is selected.

You need to select another job or close FBackup to delete that file.

If the message was not about the .fkc file, please see if the antivirus does not scan those files in that moment.

Thank you for the suggestions. The fbackup is not running, the only process i see for fbackup is the scheduler. anti-virus isn't running. Files still doesn't delete after 24hrs. Still gives same error. The process can't access the file because it is in use by another process. I mistype this in my original post and say another person.
