I am having a problem when backing up my Lotus Notes database(440GB)in that is crashes the domino server from time to time.I also am running St.Bernards open file manager ver 8.0. The backup software i'm using is Syncsort Backup Express ver 2.1.4. THe Lotus Notes Domino version is 5.0.8.Does anyone have any ideas to what could be causing the server to crash during a backup?

Lotus can be very unforgiving with backups. We had the same issue about a year ago.

To fix it we went with a backup program desinged to worrk with Notes. Veritas has a version that will work fine with Domino servers. What happens is that the backup software tries to back up one of the databases while it is in use. This tends to crash Domino. If the server is not busy you backup may work fine but if it is busy the server will crash.

Good Luck..
