Domino BackupVSS and DominoBackup with directory links

When using BackupVSS to create consistent Backups of Notes Databases during a snapshot backup BackupVSS operation, only Databases "physically" lokated in DominoDataDir will be honored.

Databases lokated outside of DominoDataDir f.e. on another disk, mounted via a directory link (xxx.dir) will generate an error and will not be freezed for VSS Backup.

Note: As we should know, BackupVSS uses features from DominoBackup to bring Databases into a consistant state. When BackupVSS triggers DominoBackup the first time, it creates DominoBackup.nsf if not present, using default configuration settings.

The second time BackupVSS triggers DominoBackup errors notifications will be send to LocalDomainAdmins by default. This will occure even if DominoBackup.nsf is not actively used !

Sure you could simply disable error notification in DominoBackup.nsf to avoid the notifications. Especially it the snapshot backup opperation is marked as successfully.

Unfortunately, Databases lokated on another disk will potentioally not be usable after restore, because BackupVSS doesnt care for them to be consistent during backup.
