Administering NetIM : Running backup services on NetIM
  
Running backup services on NetIM
Backup services running on NetIM that lock files in the database directory and/or other directories to which NetIM reads and writes (for example, the temporary directory and log directory) interfere with NetIM operation.
Do not run backup services on NetIM during normal NetIM operation as this can interfere with the operation of NetIM and produce unpredictable results.
