Arcserve 2000 Lotus Notes Backup Agent and Notes R6

[csplev]

We recently upgraded to Domino/Notes 6.0.1 on a dedicated notes server that backs up to a tape drive on a different server via ARCServe 2000's Lotus Notes Backup Agent. The Server and all agents have been upgraded to SP4. Since the upgrade the backup halts after finishing the previous server and while the Job Status shows active, the Job Properties window is blank and the Job cannot be stopped or deleted.

Over the weekend I deinstalled the server and all clients and reinstalled them and upgraded all to SP4 but the problem persists.

Any help gratefully received.

Had something simliar with R5 Domino server.

I found that NOT using the open file agents was the work around.

Basically I just selected the *.nsf to back up and away it went.

Sounds dodgey I know but haven't had a failure yet.

I have found that SP4 requires you to reinstall the CA patches again and reconfigure the device groups.

csplev -- can you run the lotus backup first and then the other server?

cokeandsushi -- if you are not backing up using the lotus notes agent, how can you restore? Do you stop lotus notes before the backup? Otherwise, won't it see the files as in use by Notes and just skip them?
