Backup-Exec & Dominos Server
I have Veritus Backup-Exec 9.1 with the Dominos agent backing up Dominos r6.5.1 on a nightly basis
Every now and then (due to a tape/tape-drive malfunction) the backup stalls on loading the media and can't be canceled from the Veritus console (console does not respond to backup cancel requests).
Stopping and starting the Veritus backup service frees the Veritus console, and then I can run the backup.
Now here's the Dominos issue: Within 50 minutes of having stop/started of the Veritus backup services and initiating backup, the Dominos service abruptly terminates. No more e-mail. In which case the server either reboots after a certain amount of downtime or needs to be started by myself.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Any ideas on what's happening?

The logs for Dominos seem to be scant, simply ending abruptly w/out precursor to an issue.
Can I enable a more detailed logging for dominos?

Hmmm... What OS? Is it windows? I'm inclined to check the OS logs as well, and next time it happens, keep an eye on CPU and memory usage.
I've had issues before where stopping services for crashed programs on windows doesn't release the memory and can create issues as you describe. Especially if you are then starting the service again and initiating a backup - putting extra load on the server... Worth a look anyway.

Is this from the Server Manager for Dominos?
if so, I can't seem to locate it

it's windows 2003. The logs indicate that the dominos service terminated unexpectedly, but that's it.
