Lotus Notes properties
The properties can be configured on the NetBackup web UI. On the left pane, select . Next, select the clients. From the Actions menu, select Edit client properties, and then click .
The Lotus Notes properties apply to the clients that are currently selected and that run NetBackup for Domino.
For more information, see the NetBackup for HCL Domino Administrator's Guide.
For UNIX servers: If you have multiple installations of Domino server, the values in the client properties or the bp.conf only apply to one installation. For other installations, specify the installation path and location of the notes.ini file with the LOTUS_INSTALL_PATH and NOTES_INI_PATH directives in the backup policy.
Table: Lotus Notes client host properties
Client host properties | Description |
|---|
|
| The maximum number of logs that can be prefetched in a single restore job during recovery. Specify a value greater than 1.
If this value is less than or equal to 1, NetBackup does not gather transaction logs during recovery. One transaction log extent per job is restored to the Domino server's log directory. LOTUS_NOTES_LOGCACHESIZE = 3
|
|
| Specify a path where NetBackup can temporarily store the prefetched transaction logs during recovery. For example: On Windows: D:\LogCache On UNIX: /tmp/logcache
If you do not specify a path, during recovery NetBackup restores the logs to the Domino server's transaction log directory. Note the following before specifying the : If the specified path does not exist then it is created during restore. The restore job fails with a Status 5 error if the user does not have write permission for the folder. Transaction logs are restored to the original location, the Domino transaction log directory, if a path is not specified. If the value of is less than or equal to 1 then this path is ignored. The logs are not prefetched; one transaction log per job is restored to the Domino Server's log directory. If there is not sufficient space to restore the specified number of logs, NetBackup tries to restore only the number of logs that can be accommodated.

| Enter the NOTES.INI file that is associated with the server used to back up and restore the Lotus database. Use this setting to specify the correct .INI file to back up and restore from Domino partitioned servers. Specifying the .INI file for non-partitioned servers is not necessary. Specify the absolute path to the NOTES.INI file: On Windows: If the notes.ini file is not located in the default directory, indicate its location in the INI path box. For example: D:\Lotus\Domino\notes.ini On UNIX: If the notes.ini is not located in the directory that is specified in the Path, indicate its location here. For example: /db/notesdata/notes.ini Include the directory and the notes.ini file name.

| Specify the path where the Lotus Notes program files reside on the client. NetBackup must know where these files are to perform backup and restore operations. The value in this box overrides the Lotus registry key, if both are defined. Specify the path where the Lotus Notes program files reside on the client: On Windows: Specify the path for Lotus program directory (where nserver.exe resides). For example: D:\Lotus\Domino On UNIX: Specify a path that includes the Domino data directory, the Lotus program directory, and the Lotus resource directory. For example: /export/home/notesdata:/opt/lotus/notes/latest /sunspa:/opt/lotus/notes/latest/sunspa/res/C
The value overrides the Lotus registry value, if both are defined.
