Del, Thanks for your help. I have tried setting CompressAlways = YES and the backup last night went alright. I have verified the integrity of the backup by restoring a mail file that was failing before. It was ok. Do you think setting CompressAlways=YES might make my backups unreliable, considering when it was set to NO, there were a lot of mailfiles that were failing backups, about 10%? Would you still recommend I do EXCLUDE.COMPRESSION mail6\user1.nsf.*
I assume that this is fixed on 1.1.2. I might upgrade very soon.

Thanks. Rodolfo, Make sure you are at the latest version of TDP for Domino (1.1.2). RC155 means that the you asked for the database to be compressed and it failed because it grew during compression. TDP for Domino 1.1.2 has code that will retry the backup non-compressed in that situation. This was fixed in APAR IC29610: A backup of a database or a transaction log fails because the data grows during compression. The code has been changed so that the database or transaction log backup will be retried without compression. Note: The backup is retried only if the COMPRESSAlways option is set to NO. To avoid the problem, use something like this: EXCLUDE.COMPRESSION mail6\user1.nsf.* (make sure you put the "*" at the end) The 1.1.2 of the User's Guide explains this in more detail.
