Hello

Backup Exec 9.0 - Lotus Agent. Domino 6.03

Transaction logging enabled

Archive style

Mark Archive’s for recycling.

When backup up, I get the following message.

Final error description: The maximum available transaction logs have been backed up. Additional transaction logs cannot be backed up and databases cannot be recovered. Please refer to VERITAS Backup Exec Knowledge Base for more information.

Veritas support answer - We are using API’s from Lotus, call them. There was an known issue and was fixed in 5.09 ( I think that rev)

Called Lotus - Still looking into it…

Any ideas ?

Thanks

We are experiencing the same problem. I’ll post the answer we received from IBM below. Unfortunately it didn’t help… Any news, hints and tips are highly appreciated.

There was a Notes.ini parameter created to deal with this issue (as a result of SPR #SCON4W3UZD), DEBUG_MAX_ARCHIVE_QUEUE. The default is 70 log extents. Please set this parameter in the Notes.ini to a higher value (say, 120) to see if that helps.

Hello.

That was the same answer I got from IBM, BUT that did not help…

U saw the same SPR# that I did, I mentioned it to them but they said that part of the code has not changed since the SPR# fix.

I also have a call open with Veritas on this same issue, I have done an API Trace and waiting for the results.

I am waiting for IBM to call me on what the next step is…

Thanks again.

I will post any new info.

Hello

I assume u are using veritas… If so try this on your backup server

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\Backup

Exec\Engine\Domino\MaxTranslogExtents

By default it is set to 70.

You can increment this value as necessary to backup your transaction logs,

there is not a known limitation on this value

Thanks Jordy, increasing that value solved the problem.
