Are you using the Lotus notes agent
or
Just Advance open file agent

if you are not using the Lotus notes agent
add this reg change.

HKlocal machine > Software > Veritas > Engine > Domino

Enable Offline Backup = 1

you will need the open file agent for offline backup

Hope that helps

Thanks for the replies, now I’m able to backup all the .nsf
But I not using any agent for the backup, what I do is schedule the task to shutdown the domino server before backup.

I am not using the Lotus notes agent and I would not like stop the Domino server.

There is any key to change to do this?

Enable OnLine Backup???

See this thread.

thread481-686070 shutdown the Domino Server, go to pre/post commands in Veritas and add the name of the Windows Service that Domino uses. I tested this through a command prompt to ensure that the syntax was correct.
EXAMPLE
Pre command:
net stop &quot;Lotus Domino Server (notesdata)&quot;
Post command:
net start &quot;Lotus Domino Server (notesdata)&quot;

I have a similar problem, but I'm using Arcserve r11.1. When doing a full server backup, .NSF files aren't being backed up, but when I do a specific backup just targeting .NSF, everything runs fine.
