backup exec 9.1 on a server win2000 backup files .nsf

[473209786]

Hi all,i'm a reseller, i have Be 9.1 on a win2000 file server and lotus domino server, I didnt buy the lotus agent options because the customer is small and so i decide to backup lotus file by stopping the domin server with a preprocess command (net stop...).
I note that Backup exec didnt backup nsf and ntf files ? Why ? does its possible to fix this problem without forcing me to buy the agent options.. (the customer use domino only for application purpose and its a very small company without budget )
Thank a Lot

A quick solution would be to utilise the NTBACKUP command after you have stopped the Domino service. So

1) Stop the domino service
2) Run an NTBACKUP command that backs up the folder and contents you need into a nice single NT Backup file
3) Have Veritas back up that NT Backup file instead of the Domino folder
4) Restart the Domino service


Just out of interest did Veritas give you a log error when it didn't back up the files?

Have you tried explicitly selecting the NSF and NTF files, rather than just the directory(s) that contain them?

Change this registry key to 1 and restart the BE services. You should then be able to backup the Domino files.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\Backup Exec\Engine\Domino\Enable Offline Backup
