I ran into the same problem.   This is documented in the knowledge base as a 
known error.  If you run the domino server as a windows app instead of a 
service, this works around the problem.

Subject: tdp for domino problem, which user ID for backup?


Hello TSM-ers,
two or three weeks ago I asked list to help me with Domino backup. The problem 
was that, when I used TDP GUI or command line for backup I always got couple of 
the following error messages for various databases:

04/02/2003 08:38:53 Backup of admin4.nsf failed.
04/02/2003 08:38:53 This database is currently being used by someone else. In 
order to share a Notes database, all users must use a Domino Server instead of 
a File Server.

I have done some tests and I found out one interesting thing. Succesfull backup 
of some Domino databases (especialy system databases like names.nsf, admin4.nsf 
and so on) depends on user ID under which domdsmc or TDP for Domino GUI is 
running.

My environment is as follows:
Domino 6.0 on Windows 2000 SP3 running as service under Local system user TDP 
for Domino 5.1.5, TSM client 5.1.5.4 TSM server 5.1.5.4 on AIX 5.1

When I used domdsmc or TDP GUI as user Administrator, I always got error 
messages like the one above for some of databases. Databases for which I got 
this error were not always the same. Sometimes some of databases was backed up 
succesfuly, sometimes not.

When I run domdsmc via TSM scheduler, which is running under Local system user 
ID, all databases was backed up without errors.

When I stoped Domino server and started it in foreground using Administrator 
ID, I could sucessfuly backup all databases with TDP GUI and also with domdsmc 
(using Administrator ID).

So it seems that it depends on user ID, under which is Domino server running 
and also user ID under which is TDP for Domino running. When standard Domino 
instalation procedure is used, Domino server will run as service with Local 
system user ID and then you can not backup all databases corectly using TDP GUI 
or command line.

Is it working as designed or is it bug?
