Options for Notes database backups

The following options are available for backup operations of Notes databases.

Table: General Options tab

Option

Description

Specify the absolute path for the notes.ini file that is associated with the server instance to use.

On the Windows interface, this option is available on Lotus Notes tab.

To back up a partitioned Domino server or one of several Domino installations (UNIX/Linux), specify the absolute path for the notes.ini file. This notes.ini file is associated with the particular server partition or installation that you want to use to perform the backup.

The partition you specify affects how a database is backed up (if logged). It also affects which set of transaction logs are backed up.

Keyword phrase to associate with this backup or archive (optional)

Specifies a keyword phrase, up to 128 characters in length, that NetBackup can associate with the image created by this backup operation. You then can restore the image by specifying the keyword phrase in the Search Backups dialog box.

All printable characters are permitted including space (" ") and period ("."). The default keyword phrase is the null (empty) string
