Backup fail on msllockdb & pwe files

We use Arcserve for our backup software. Everynight, we get errors that
msllockdb.mdf, msllockdb_ldf, pwe.mdf, & pwe_log.ldf cannot be accessed
because they are being used by another process. Does anyone know what is
causing this and how to correct it?

Thanks!You are obviously not using the SQL Server plugin for Arcserver. It is
trying to copy the files directly and that is always a no no for SQL Server.
You need to invoke the SQL Server backup command thru Arcserves SQL Server
specific extensions.
