     I have three comments.

1) I think you are on the right track in checking your dsm.opt
file. The Notes Agent communcates with the ADSM server through
the ADSM API. The ADSM API uses a dsm.opt file that is different
from the one used for the ADSM client (the contents may be very
similar, but the location of the dsm.opt file is different). Please
make sure that the DSMI_CONFIG variable in your config.sys file
is set to the correct path of your ADSM API dsm.opt file.
(As I am writing this, I see that Andy Raibeck has already addressed
this topic -- Thanks Andy)

2) This second comment is unsolicited, but you'll want to know that the
syntax of your path should be altered. If you want to backup all the Notes
databases in c:\notes3\notes, you probably want the following syntax:

  dsmnotes incr -mountwait=no -adsmpw=xxx c:\notes3\notes\*

     The NSF suffix is unnecessary, since dsmnotes will pick out
the valid Notes databases from a directory.

3) A final comment is that you might want to experiment first with
a single database, rather than with wildcarding, so you can see
if this type of backup is suitable for your databases.
