Re: Saving Domino











There are far more qualified individuals to answer your question, but I
will throw in my attempt.  It's been quite some time since we investigated
which files were necessary to restore our Domino server, but this is the
list that we developed / back up every night.

>From the IFS:

/lotus/domino/data/*
/qibm/userdata/lotus/*

>From the libraries:

QNOTES
QUSRNOTES

Our strongest resource was the redbook for this purpose.  I don't recall
the name offhand, but you should be able to find it with some searching at
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com.  Good luck.

Patrick

For starters, I'm not well versed in Domino but I'm trying to learn.  We
are planning to upgrade to Domino 6 soon from V5.  Our current nightly
backup backs up the /Notes folder in the IFS which gets our e-mail and
other databases.  It uses BRMS and does a SAVDOMBRM.  Since management
wants the system available 24/7 we rarely do anything else to it.  For 
this
upgrade we want to make sure that we save any non-database objects that
aren't part of our nightly backup.  The upgrade is going to be done on a
weekend after the regular nightly backup runs.  If we also do a SAVSYS and
SAVLIB LIB(*NONSYS) I would think that should cover the bases.

>From what I can tell these are the libraries that we are after:
QNOTES
QNOTESADVC
QNOTESAPI
QNOTESCPP
QNOTESHTST
QNOTESINT
QNOTESLSKT

In the interest of time we are trying to avoid a GO SAVE-21 although we do
want to back up what we might need.  This is running on a 270 at V5R1 and
the nightly backup takes about 7.5 hours to run.  We will be doing a V5R3
upgrade a week after this and will save the entire system at that time. Is
there anything else that we should be backing up for this?  Thanks.
