Holger,

In addition to Maklári Sándor's suggestions...

Please keep in mind that there are a few Lotus Domino SPRs (APARS)
that deal with some archived log extents not being released.

SPR #CLOL4P4E7M - Fixed a problem where after log extents were
                  processed by backup software they were
                  not reused or deleted by Domino.
                  Fixed in Domino Server 5.07 (available now)

SPR #SCON4W3UZD - Fixed a problem where using the backup APIs, only
                  70 archive log extents could be processed at one time.
                  Fixed in Domino Server 5.09 (est. date: Nov.)

SPR #JCHN4YPJJ7 - Fixed a problem where the last extent that was restored
                  from the backup product was not being removed when
                  the restore was completed which occurred when doing
                  a restore with transactional logging active.
                  Fixed in Domino Server 5.09 (est. date: Nov.)

Again, these are Lotus SPRs (APARS) that are fixed when
the specific Lotus Domino server is updated.

Thanks,

Del
