We've just recently started testing ADSM to back up our Lotus Notes servers
(on Windows NT), and I was wondering if anyone else out there has
experienced these same issues:

1.   Initial backup of a database with a lot of deletion stubs can take an
incredibly long time.  Hours on a slow box.

2.   When "backing up" deletion stubs (or whatever it's doing), the client
pulls much more data from the server than it actually sends.  We've had
examples of 50-1 or even 100-1 amounts of data being sent from the server
compared to data sent by the client.  Does anyone know what the agent is
actually doing at this point?

3.   When doing a second backup of a database that has more than 256
deletion stubs since the last time it was backed up, we get a dsmnotes
crash  with an error about MS Visual C++ runtime library assertion failed.
mempool!=MEMPOOL_INVLID.  This crash kills the dsmnotes task and locks the
database from dsmnotes until the box is recycled.

Anyone else seen this behavior?

Many thanks,
