During archiving of our VSS database, I get an error "Unable to read =
file".

According to MSFT's website, that means a network connection failed, =
however, our VSS is NOT on a network.  All the more concerning....

So I try to stop the SOS Server via the Services Applet and Lock the =
Database via the VSS Admin GUI, but when I run analyze, I get a message =
that says:

                File v:\data\status.dat is already open

Is there some other process/application that I need to stop prior to =
successfully running analyze?

Thank you.
