Hi there, Are there anyone has used the *SM BA backup client to backup and restore the Notes R4.6 databases without shutdown the Notes process at AIX? . Actually, I have tried to perform the online backup on the Notes databases, and it seem *SM can handle the open files in Notes. . However, when I try to restore back the databases, and I cannot open some of the mail database again. Thus, I think it may be corrupted during the backup, and I suspect the mail databases are being changing during the backup. . Therefore, I would like to know whether *SM can use its backup agent to backup the Notes database without shutdown Notes. Can someone share his experience on it? . Thanks, Louie
