I would try openfile support in 5.2 . First tests look quite good.

Betreff: Lotus Notes Non-TDP backups


We currently have over 160Gb of Notes mail databases that need to be backed
up nightly. Due to incompatabilities with the Notes TDP, our version of TSM
(v4.2.2.5) and the way compaction runs on our Notes servers, we have to use
the normal Tivoli backup client to backup the mailboxes. It takes about 12
hours for all the databases to get backed up each night but the vast amount
of this time seems to be spend trying and then retrying to send mailboxes to
the TSM server. A typical schedule log looks like this:

Is there anything we can do reduce the window for this backup? Both the TSM
server and our Notes server have dedicated 1Gb links so bandwidth isn't a
problem. The Backup Copy Group for the Management Class the Notes data is
allocated to has Copy Serialization set to 'Shared Static'. Would changing
this to Dynamic be beneficial in reducing the amount of retries that occur
and also setting CHANGERETRIES to a lower option help?

Thanks in advance,
