Are you using the "Lotus Notes Connect Agent" or just the standard client *SM
backup ?

If you are using the standard client backup...what is probably happening is *SM
backups a notes database and at the end *SM detects that it has changed and
backs it up again to get a clean copy. *SM will do this for as many times as the
"changingretries" setting specifies. Each backup will update the amount of data
backed up number .

 Subject: Lotus Notes backup problems








Dear all,

          We are currently running ADSM 3.1.2.57 on Aix 4.3.2 . We are
having problems with the Notes(WinNT) backup.
Can anyone suggest why  the Lotus notes will regularly backup about 60 Gb
of data even though
there are only about 30 GB of data. The capacity of notes drives is about
63 Gb. We start to believe that somehow
the whole drive is being backed up. We even do an estimate on a restore on
the client to verify the 30 Gb of data
that ADSM has backed up. Any suggestions are welcome..
