[Samba] Backups of local shares

[Vernon A. Fort]

Let me put this another way - how confident can one be if you are backing up
open or lock file (listed in the smbstatus -L).  How does samba handle the
relationship between the open file and the actual stored file?  Have I
missed the documentation on this - I can't seem to find anything.

BRU and BRU-Pro are supposed to be able to do this.
