I am running TSM 4.2.0 and one of my nodes is a Domino Server on Windows
2000. I am running TDP for Lotus Domino to do backups of our Domino
databases and mail files. What is the best way to go about doing monthly
backups for these databases. I have been using backupsets instead of
archiving because it blows up the db. Then now I find out that you cannot
restore Domino Databases from these backupsets. Any recommendation is
welcome.
Why are you running monthly backups? Don't you run nightly backups already?
Keep in mind that the TDP for Domino does not do a full backup of every file
on every backup. It backs up the full file the first time, and then only
backs up the logs for each file. The file itself will never be backed up in
its entirety until the file is assigned a new database ID by Domino. (This
usually happens only when: 1) Domino is stopped and restarted, or 2) the
file is defragged or reorganized.)
If you have a legal need to do a monthly snapshot, your best bet is to shut
Domino down and run the regular b/a client to back up the cold data files.
