Hello all,
we are installing online modules for Lotus notes=20
the customer has a NW 7.1 backup server running on solaris
the notes (version 5) are all running on windows 2000 or 2003.
I configured the client resource with saveset NOTES: and backup command
nsrnotesv. on the notes server I created the variables
Notes_ExecDirectory =3D D:\NOTES (where nnotes.ddl is located)
PATH =3D D:\NOTES; + rest of path including nsr/bin directory
If we do a scheduled backup, the backup fails
if we do a client initiated backup ( nsrnotesv -s backup-sever -R) we
receive the following message and nothing is backed up
nsrnotesv: Error returned for <name database>.nsf by Notes API, error =
=3D
525 (This database is currently being used by someone else. In order to
share a Notes database, all users must use a Domino Server instead of a
File Server.)
the error suggest to set a NML_SKIPDBERRORS variable, to continue after
non-critical errors.=20
after setting this variable, we receive a lot of the same mesages (I
think 1 for each database file of the notes server), BUT aftewards
networker backups some of the databases.
BUT during that backup, the databases are not available (just like
during a normal file system backup, the users can not access their mail,
while their mailbox is backed up)
and also the scheduled backup does not work.
I found two related legato issues, but we tried them, without results.
backup using nsrnotes -s backup-server -x -R gave exactly the same
errors.
flusing the cash and even rebooting the servers, did not solve the
problem.
I think that the backup tries to access the files, like a normal
file-backup, which is not the meaning when they buy a online module.=20
does somebody have more experience with online notes modules?
Thanks
Bart

Title:Manual and scheduled saves of a Lotus Notes server fails with =
error: 'nsrnotesv: Error returned for (data_directory) by Notes API, =
error =3D 525 (This database is currently being used by someone else. =

ID:legato81951
Solution Statements
Here is the solution:
For Manual backup use -x option:
nsrnotesv.exe -s NetWorker server -x Data_directory_path
For Schedule backup:
Populate client resource attribute, Application Information: MYARG =3D =
-R -x
Here is the problem or goal:
Error: 'nsrnotesv: Error returned for (data_directory) by Notes API, =
error =3D 525 (This database is currently being used by someone else. =
In order to share a Notes database, all users must use a Domino Server =
instead of a File Server.)'
Error: 'nsrnotesv: There is nothing to backup or system is down'
Scheduled save of a Lotus Notes Domino Server fails with error
Scheduled save of a Lotus Notes server fails with error
Manual save of a Lotus Notes server fails with error for some of the =
data bases
Rebooting the Domino Server did not resolve the errors
Stopping the Domino server, a backup is successful for all databases
Here is the problem environment:
Windows 2003
Lotus Domino server 6.5.3
NetWorker Module for Lotus Notes 2.2.1
Data directory not mounted on network mapped drive
Notes data directory is on a local file system
nsrnotesv -s server -b pool C:\(data_path) results in some of the =
databases completing successfully
Here is the cause:
The software is seeing the data directory as a mapped drive

Solution Information
Title:Error: 'nsrnotesv: Error returned for (Notes_database) by Notes =
API, error =3D 525'
ID:legato25226
Solution Statements
Here is the solution:
Disable or reduce the database cache. To do this, copy one of the =
following lines in your notes.ini-file and start the Domino server =
again.=20
Disable the database cache:
NSF_DBCACHE_DISABLE=3D1
=20
Reduce the database cache:
NSF_DBCACHE_MAXENTRIES=3D n [where n denotes a number from 1 to 10000 =
(in R5) or from 1 to ~723 (in R4)]
Solution II
The database cache can also be flushed manually. The database vendor =
should be contacted before flushing the database cache. The command to =
flush a database cache from NOTES console is:
DBCACHE FLUSH
Note: If the above does resolve the problem, please reboot the Notes =
server.
Here is the problem or goal:
Error: 'nsrnotesv: Error returned for (Notes_database) by Notes API, =
error =3D 525'
Error: 'This database is currently being used by someone else. In order =
to share a Notes database, all users must use a Domino Server instead of =
a File Server'
Here is the problem environment:
Windows 2000
Domino server 5.0.9
Domino server 6.5
NetWorker Module for Lotus 2.1
NetWorker Module for Lotus 2.2
Notes server and client are installed on the same machine
Manual and schedule backups fail with the error
Here is the cause:
This error message can occur due to insufficient system resources.=20
There are many databases on one server. If a database is closed by the =
client, it may still remain in the Notes database cache, and as a result =
still occupy memory. By opening many large files at a time, it is =
possible to run into a memory limit and encounter Domino Error 525.
