Greetings, my first time posting on here. I've tried searching and found quite a few topics on getting 12.5 to work with Domino 8.5, but nothing really on 12.0. I know Domino 8.5 isn't supported by 12 but we pushed a Domino 8.5 install onto our production server before realizing that the thing wouldn't back-up, oversight during an exceptionally busy past few weeks (relocating buildings by Jan 1st, going with VoIP and now this...all during the holidays...yep. Good times).
I've tried several different methods - Using the Domino based Agent, AOFO and no Agent what-so-ever. All of them begin backing up and get to approximately 100Gb then hang there and eventually hit the auto-cancel time limit and cancel out, typically it was backing up in about 5 hours (120gb). I've pushed the time to 11 for the test backups over the past week but its still hitting it. Also gave the registry key fixes a try that are suggested when using BE 12.5 to see if that would help. No success still. Been trying different things over the past few weeks, running attempted full (mailfile db) backups of the Domino server after the typical incremental daily backups have ran. Short of taking domino down for a few hours, so that none of the files are locked being the next step. Anyone have any thoughts/different ideas I can try over here? Or had success backing up without killing domino for a night? Or are looking at having to upgrade?
Servers are all: Win Server 2003 (32bit)
Everything worked great prior, running Domino 8.0.1
(was told to upgrade, to 8.0.1 FP1...when we had been installing Client 8.5 FP1 on new builds/upgrading clients, funny how numbers tend to all fade together and get mixxed up when theres a time crunch going on)
Thanks
