NetBackup for Domino backup types
In a policy's schedule you define the type of backups you want to perform.
Table: Description of NetBackup for Domino backup types
Type of backup | Description |
|---|
Full backup
| Backs up all the Notes databases that are identified in the backup selections list. Available transaction logs extents are also backed up if the BACKUP_TRANSACTION_LOGS directive is specified in the list. The inactive transaction log extents are marked as ready to reuse after they are successfully backed up. The Domino server handles the actual recycling of transaction log extents.
|
Differential Incremental backup
| The type of database affects the backup, as follows: Unlogged databases or local databases Backs up all unlogged databases or local databases that were modified since the last full or incremental backup. The last modification date, not the time stamp or date stamp of the database file, determines the time the database was last modified. Logged databases (archival-style logging enabled) Backs up only those logged databases that were assigned a new DBIID since the last full or incremental backup. Logged databases (circular-style and linear-style logging enabled) Backs up all logged databases that were modified or assigned a new DBIID since the last full or incremental backup. The last modification date, not the time stamp or date stamp of the database file, determines the time the database was last modified. Transaction logs Backs up all transaction log extents that are identified as available for backup by the Domino server. The inactive transaction log extents are marked as ready to reuse when the backup completes successfully.

Cumulative Incremental backup
| The type of database affects the backup, as follows. Note that the last modification date, not the time stamp or date stamp of the database file, determines the time the database was last modified. Unlogged databases or local databases Backs up all unlogged databases or local databases that were modified since the last full backup. Logged databases (archival-style logging enabled) Backs up only those logged databases that were assigned a new DBIID since the last full backup. Logged databases (circular-style and linear-style logging enabled) Backs up all logged databases that were modified or have been assigned a new DBIID since the last full backup. Transaction logs Backs up all transaction log extents that are identified as available for backup by the Domino server. The transaction log extents are not marked as ready to reuse when the backup is completed.

User backup
|
A user backup is similar to a snapshot of the databases at a given point in time. Transaction log extents are not marked as ready to be recycled after they are successfully backed up. The content of ongoing full and incremental backups is not impacted.
A user backup is not automatically scheduled and must be initiated on the target client machine.
You may also want to create a separate policy for user backup schedules. This way you can easily separate user-directed and scheduled backups.
