[Veritas-bu] Help! Problem with NetBackup Notes agent...

Hello all,


I've got a problem I cannot figure out. Has somebody seen and solved this 
problem with 
the NetBackup Lotus Notes agent?

The situation:

- Notes R5.0.10 on Solaris 8
- NetBackup 4.5 GA, patched to MP1, also on Solaris 8

The NetBackup Notes agent is installed and configured as the installation 
document tells 
me to (with the keyword ALL_NOTES_DATABASES, not the path to the Notes data 
directory. 
However, I also tested this with the path /export/database/notesdata; it makes 
no 
difference). It does perform backups, but some .nsf and one .box files are not 
handled 
properly, even when Notes is (re-)started just before the backup and with no 
users 
active.

* The files that give me problems are:

        /export/database/notesdata/admin4.nsf
        /export/database/notesdata/busytime.nsf
        /export/database/notesdata/decsadm.nsf
        /export/database/notesdata/events4.nsf
        /export/database/notesdata/log.nsf
        /export/database/notesdata/mail.box
        /export/database/notesdata/names.nsf
        /export/database/notesdata/names2.nsf
        /export/database/notesdata/smconf.nsf
        /export/database/notesdata/statmail.nsf
        /export/database/notesdata/statrep.nsf 

* When performing incremental backups, the following warning is given for each 
file:

        WRN - Failure determining if backup of Lotus Notes database <name> is 
required:
                0x20D: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.

  The incremental backup is finished with status 0 (!). The files are *NOT* 
backed up.

* When performing full backups, the following error is given for each file:

        ERR - Cannot open Lotus Notes database <name>:
                0x1:Release 5.0.10 |March 22, 2002

  The full backup is finished with status 1 and the files are *NOT* backed up.

* Only Notes processes are keeping the files open

- fuser gives:

Please, can someone tell me what I'm missing?


Thank you,
