There may be or may not be tricks to make Lotus 8.5.x work on a 32 bit server.

 Its always recommended to stick with the supported configuration. Somehow you may configure

backups of Lotus 8.5 on a 32bit server but its not certain how long it will work and in case you come

across any issue Symantec will just provide you software compatibility list then you will be left on

your own.

Hi,

Any other comment.....

Thanks.

Lotus 8.5.X 32 and 64 bit is supported on 64bit servers

This does not imply that you cannot run Lotus 8.5.X 32-bit on a 32-bit server.  For some applications, BE does not support running the 32-bit version of the application on a 64-bit machine.

I am running Domino 8.5.2 on a 32-bit Server 2003 machine.  If you can load Lotus 8.5.1  on a Server 2008 32-bit machine, it should be supported.

@ Mrinal : Applogies for my previous post  I mis-interpreted the notes part.

Thanks PKH 

Hi,

I have checked with the IBM for their own backup product ....

but there also I haven't found any 32bit support...

check this below link:-

http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21426974

So, what I can understand that there must be any catch, for lotus domino 8.5.1 on 32 bit server.

Amol: It's OK ....don't feel sorry.....I should have elaborated the issue more clearly...

Thanks.

The link that you have provided is for Domino 5.5.3, not 8.5.1.

I have already told you that I am running Domino 8.5.2 on a 32-bit Server 2003 machine and I am backing it up with BE 2010 R3, so what is the catch?  Are you still saying that BE is unable to back up Domino 8.5.X on a 32-bit machine?

Hi.

I can understand...that..

So u have'nt faced any problem....

Thanks.

No.
