Thanks for the help, but on it's second run (and I have not changed
anything, except I did an entire backup while the server was down this
weekend) everything was backed up correctly by the Scheduler.

Hope it will keep this up!

Thanks again.

Etienne,

This sounds like a configuration problem.

1. Make sure that the NOTESINIPATH (DOMDSMC QUERY PREF)
   is set to the directory containing the NOTES.INI file of
   the Domino server you are backing up.

2. Also, make sure there is not another NOTES.INI file anywhere
   in your path or in the WINNT or WINNT\SYSTEM32 directory.
   This can cause problems. We usually have customers search
   their entire filesystem for all the NOTES.INI files.
   Then, temporarily rename all of the them, EXCEPT for the
   one they want to use, to some other name.  Then retry the operation.
   In some cases, even though you have NOTESINIPATH pointing
   to the correct NOTES.INI location, Domino itself
   will look in other places first.  :-(

3. Also, be sure that you are running TDP for Domino 1.1.2.

Thanks,

Del
