Re: Full system restore - length of save interval concerns.

I agree with Chris wholeheartedly. Do you backup nightly?

The problem with this scenario is that you shouldn't be restoring from

the

full save on 9/8. You should restore the OS and program data, but you
should then just use your latest nightly backup from the clustermate for
the restore.

Ok, picture this. You save a Domino LPAR once a quarter. In the

interim

you rely upon saving the Domino data from clustered servers.

Now picture this. You saved on 9/8/2012. Your system dies a gristly
death on 12/1/2012 and needs a full restore. So you restore from the
9/8/2012 tape and let clustering catch up.

Now you get a call from someone who deleted 1,000 emails on 9/13. He
wants to know why they are all back. They're back because replication
history is only kept for x number of days. You try to explain this to

him

until you realize it was a rhetorical question and he just wants them
gone.

Do I change the "x number of days"? If so, how?
If I can't is my only option to increase the frequency of saves?
