can not restore lotus notes .nsf file

[Charles_C]

Hi expert,

 Created a policy for the lotus notes backup, everything fine in the backup stage.

however, when i try to restore the nsf file, I saw some error on the activity monitor.

I don't know why cause the problem, anyone has some ideas?

The only problem I think should be the differnt location of the desination.

What I mean is the source(backup) and destination(restore) file are in the different path.

My question is, can I restore the nsf to another place instead of the original place, assume the original file is in the path of lotus\domino\data\xxx.nsf.

Why I ask this is because when I set up the backup source I remember I did input the note.ini path, I am wondering if this setting affect the restore process?

If you have a better idea to backup the nsf file and restore to the other location/path, please suggest.

Thanks

Workaround:

The failure is caused when the Notes user does not have read/write/execute permissions to the root $HOME directory

# ls -ld $HOME  
drwx------   5 root     root         512 Jul 23 10:45 /root

A valid workaround is to ensure Notes user has sufficient permissions.  Log into the system as root and then do the following:
# chmod 755 $HOME
# ls -ld $HOME
drwxrwxr-x  44 root     root        1536 Jul 23 11:18 /

Googleing always helps

do you mean the lotus user does not have sufficient permission to the destination folder?

in fact my source and destination are windows based
