Re: TDP for Lotus Domino Backups/Archives
Thanks for your help. I created a new node and created a new schedule that does a full selective backup. But then, I realized that I am still using the same management class with the normal retention period of my incrementals. Does this mean my selective backups are of no use since they just get expired. Do I need to create another Management Class, if yes, would I also need to create a backup copy group? Or can I just create/copy another dsm.opt file which refers to the new management class and then refer to the new dsm.opt file in the dominc.cmd script. Rodolfo, It all depends on how your management classes are defined, that is, if they are based on the number of versions to keep or based on how long to keep extra versions. If you want the retention period to be different than normal backups, you should define a new management class with copygroup settings that match your needs. You can then bind all of the objects for your monthly backups by having a different DSM.OPT file and using the INCLUDE * MC_NAME option.

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. Rodolfo, TDP for Domino does not support archive. Do you mean monthly backups outside of the normal backup schedule? There are probably a number of different ways to do this. Some of the customers I have talked to set up a second NODENAME (like DOMSERV99.MONTHLY) and run a full selective backup using that NODENAME.

Hi all, 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.
