That is a workspace - probably for WDSC or RDi. Do I remember that you used to put your workspaces on the IFS with mapped drives? And that you stopped doing that?

It is probably a lock file of some sort - and with the lock, it could not be allocated.

Just another reason not to do that, my friend!!

For about a week now, the nightly backup has stated "CPFA09E 00 Object in

Can someone confirm for me that that link (file) exists on your system? I'm
the only IT person, the backup runs in a restricted state at 12:01am, and I
guarantee I am not working at that time. :)

I was wondering if that link should just be deleted.

Thanks.
