About supported Lotus Notes database configurations
NetBackup for Lotus Notes supports backups and restores of the following Lotus Notes database configurations:
Domino server databases
Domino server manages the Domino server databases. Databases are located in a directory that is referred to as the Domino data directory. Databases can also be linked to this directory by using linked directories or linked databases. Databases can be logged or unlogged.
Typically the Domino data directory is
/db/notesdataorC:\Lotus\Domino\Data.Local databases
A description of the databases is as follows:
Logged Domino Server databases | The database agent has the ability to log transactions against one or more Lotus Notes databases. If transaction logging is enabled on the server, all logged database transactions go into a single transaction log. This log consists of one or more files or extents. Where archive-style transaction logging is used, the archived log files serve as the incremental backup for the logged databases. Transaction logging must be enabled to recover logged databases. |
Unlogged Domino Server databases | An unlogged database is one in which transaction logging is not enabled, or has been disabled for specific server database(s). Unlogged databases are backed up when a full backup is performed. Unlogged databases are also backed up when an incremental backup is performed and the unlogged database has been recently updated. The database can be restored only to the point of the latest database backup. |
Local databases | Local databases are the Lotus Notes databases that are not located in the Domino data directory, cannot be shared, and cannot be logged. Local databases are treated similarly to unlogged Domino server databases when they are backed up and restored. |
