Just to say I'm pretty new to backing up Lotus Notes with networker. Figuring out the problems isn't very easy. But here's some stuff I've seen so far.
I got a problem with networker backing up 1 notes instance. The server has 3 notes instances and the other 2 work just fine. All are timed to backup at different times. The one with the problem starts to backup nicely and then suddenly stops when ~200MB has been backed up.
Anyone has any ideas about this problem (logs posted below)? Btw, is there any switches to make networker do backup even if it receives errors?

Also when I tested to backup it at a different time I got pretty much same errors except this line.

7.2 build 15? That sounds more as beta1 to me than a proper version. Are you sure about that?
Try to run backup of each db individually. In first example file1 to file 3 are aborted (I assume inactivity) while in second example we see file4. By running backup individually you will probably find that certain or even single db is causing a trouble and you should eliminate it then.
There was one .NSF file damaged and that was why the backup didn't complete succesfully. We replicated the file from another location and now backups are running fine.
