Hi,
You can backup domino database 2 ways which are as follows
1. Using domino agent
2. Using open file backup
As far as your issue i.e.
when I try to browse or select de agent from the console, it freezes up and stop responding follow the steps given below.
Solution 1 - Using Domino Agent
- Stop remote agent on domino server.
- Open remote agent installation directory on domino server
- Rename logs folder with logs1 or logs3 (any name)
- Stop backup exec services on on backup services
- Open backup exec installation directory
- Repeat step no. 3
- Turn off the "Enalbe Notes Database Filtering" and "Enable Change Journal" Registry Keys. This can be done by setting them to 0. This should be done on both the local and remote machine HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Veritas\Backup Exec\Engine\Domino\Enable Notes Database Filtering (Default value is 1, set to 0) HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Veritas\Backup Exec\Engine\Domino\Enable Change Journal (Default value is 1, set to 0)
- Start the Backup Exec Services (Both Local and Remote)
- Create new backup job and try to brows domino database
Solution 2 - Using Advanced Open File Option
- On domino server, install remote agent with AOFO and restart the server
- Make sure that you have sufficient free space available on domino server other than database volume (recommended 25 - 30% of database)
- From backup server, configure the backup job and in selection list select to domino data folder (whhere the database files resides) and notes configuration file
- Configure backup job with AOFO
- Submit the backup job but do not run
- Stop backup exec services on both servers
- On both servers, open registry key HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Veritas\Backup Exec\Engine\Domino\Enable Offline Backup (Default value is 0, set to 1)
- Start backup exec services on both servers and run the backup
Please let me know if you have any doubts
