Configuring Lotus fast restores
During Lotus restores, the NetBackup for Lotus Notes agent automatically restores any recycled transaction logs that are required for recovery. Typically one transaction log extent is restored at a time and recovery is completed for the transactions in that log. Because the restore of the log and application of transactions is a sequential process, the restore and recovery performance is slow. NetBackup prefetches the required transaction logs before recovery. Then multiple transaction logs can be restored at a time and made available for recovery.
To configure Lotus fast restores
- Review the configuration recommendations.
- Configure the transaction log cache path.
This location is where NetBackup temporarily stores the prefetched transaction logs.
- Configure the maximum number of logs to restore.
This setting determines how many transaction logs are restored in a single restore job during recovery.
