Hi list,

I have set up the NetBackup for Lotus Notes agent on a client running
Solaris 8 and Lotus Notes R5 (5.0.12) and enabled the Archive Logging
mode on the database server side. I created two backup policies: one
does weekly full backup of all the Lotus databases and one does hourly
backup of the transaction logs. The backups for both database and
transaction logs run fine, but whenever I came to the point of restoring
a file to the client (source and destination clients are the same), I
always got an error message from tar log (logs/tar/YYYYMMDD.log):

10:00:13 (60170.001) ERR - NBLN_Connect() Cannot connect with Domino as root.

Not sure if this is related, but I found an article from Veritas's KB:

http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/269838.htm

Things I can be sure:

1) The master server, media server, and clients are all running
   NetBackup Enterprise Server 5.0 MP4.

2) I did set LOTUS_NOTES_PATH and LOTUS_NOTES_INI in bp.conf on the
   client: 
   
   LOTUS_NOTES_PATH = 
/lotus/notesadm/notesr5:/lotus/notes/latest/sunspa:/lotus/notes/latest/sunspa/res/C
   LOTUS_NOTES_INI = /lotus/notesadm/notesr5/notes.ini

2) The Lotus Notes agent is running on the client and the backups run
   fine.

3) notes.ini is owned by an account "notesadm":

-rwxr-xr-x   1 notesadm notes        2596 Feb 18 11:08 
/opt/lotus/notesadm/notesr5/notes.ini

The full tar session log:

Has anybody ever experienced this kind of problem before?
