database backups

We have a Veritas application that backs up our databases at night. There are two databases that are backed up - model4IDR and master4IDR - whose lines in the log files are different. I've included some sample lines below. We the program gets to these tw
o databases the process that is running changes to spid? while the other databases are backed up by "backup". These two databases don't show up in Enterprise Manager. Why does the process start the database up first? Why would the database not be online
already? And what does the "IN LOAD" phrase mean?
Thanks,

Perhaps the autoclose database option is set for these databases. However, considering the names of the
database, my guess is that veritas does something strange to these databases, like taking a copy of some
database and detaching the database. I'd run profiler to see what Veritas actually does. If you do find out,
I'd be happy to hear... :-)

|||Do you have any idea what the files are for? Since a database by that name doesn't show up in EE, I'm wondering why the file is there?

SQL Server. Profiler will tell you.
