    I think you have summarised it well in your opening post:

    From what I see, the issue is with Notes penetrating the Domino database.

    PLEASE do not ignore compatibilty advice. Even if it works on another server, you have no guarantee that a restore will work.

    As per my post above - Lotus/Domino 8.5.x is only supported as from NBU 6.5.3.

    PLEASE upgrade your NBU environment as a matter of urgency.
    Backups and maintenance contract must be seen as insurance policy.
    Where do you go if Notes server crash and you cannot restore?

Hi Mark (and Marianne),

I've removed the backup selections, replaced them with just C:\Lotus\Domino\Data\ (browsing to the locations) - same result (a '71' error occurs).

I don't believe that compatability is an issue Marianne, as we have "identical" (as far as I can tell) backups working in several other domains (same versions, same policies, same selections, same schedule).

I will review the document you've sent the link to Marianne (thanks).

Regards,
