Michael,

I am not an "expert" by any stretch of the imagination
but the only thing I know that does not convert is templates
(NTF) files.  They stay ODS20 even after compact.

Unless the DB was open/unavailable the compact would upgrade
the ODS. To find these on a logged server simply type
in the server console:

    SHOW DIR *NOLOG

and the un-logged DBs will be shown, which would almost
always be DBs with ODS<R5 you can ignore the templates
then try to compact the remaining dbs again.
The SHOW DIR command in general was enhanced to
display the ODS level as R3, R4, or R5.

If you still have questions, I would call Lotus.

Thanks,

Del

Del,

as I promised: I'm back: I followed your steps, in addition applied the
1.1.1 fix for the product and everything is fine. I can backup AND restore
the Domino Databases. Thanks again!

If there are any Domino experts out there reading this: I know have the
problem that Domino thinks that most of the mail databases (which where
migrated from an R4 server) have the old R4 format (ODS). Of course we ran
convert, compact and design during the migration and even today - but the
databases stick to R4 format - any clues on that?

Regards,
Michael
