We do something very similiar - Compact on saturday midnight of all the databaes (DBIID is changed) - Incremental right after that (actually a full because of the DBIID change - archive log every hour from 07:00 to 19:00 - incremental every week night
We have 3 domino instances on 1 p690 partition. Total of 350 GB of notes data. Our retention is Nolimit, Nolimit, 90, 90. This gives me 2.5 TB of compressed data in TSM.

It also "inactivates" databases that no longer exist on the Domino server. If a customer only runs archivelog and selective backups, the databases that have been "removed" from their Domino Server will remain active and never expire. The bigger problem I see with only running weekly SELECTIVE and hourly ARCHIVELOG (with no INCREMENTAL) is that it will not pick up situations when the logged databases DBIID has changed. Once the DBIID changes, you cannot apply the archive logs to the old backup since Domino treats databases with a new DBIID as a "different" database in the logger's eyes. One very common technique is to run: - Weekly SELECTIVE type backups (followed by an INACTIVATELOGS command) - Nightly INCREMENTAL type backups - Hourly ARCHIVELOG backups The time frames on the frequency of these vary depending on Domino server load, capacity, maintenance schedule, etc. Thanks, Del ---------------------------------------------------- > I was also told that the INCREMENTAL processing expires deleted databases. > The SELECTIVE only backs up what's there and if you never run the > INCREMENTAL any deleted databases will still be there as active and won't > expire. > > I have a client that I'm still trying to convince that hourly archivelog > backups and weekly selective full backups just aren't enough.
