A Disaster Preparation Plan is necessary for restoring Lotus Domino databases efficiently and effectively in the event of a catastrophic failure. The goal is to minimize the time to recover. Developing a backup strategy for your Windows computers and Lotus Domino databases is the critical part of this plan.
When developing a strategy for backing up your Lotus Domino databases, consider the following recommendations:
-
Keep linked databases on one volume. This allows Backup Exec to synchronize the databases before they are backed up.
-
Back up active databases often. This reduces the amount of effort required to update the databases to the point following the most recent backup.
-
Ensure that the notes.ini, cert.id, and <server>.id files are protected and available if a disaster occurs.
-
Configure the DAOS prune period as recommended in the Lotus Domino documentation. However, Symantec recommends that you do not set the DAOS prune period for a period less than the time between two Domino backups.
