NetBackup™ for HCL Domino Administrator's Guide

Adding backup selections to a Notes policy

The backup selections list names the databases and directives that NetBackup includes in automatic backups of the clients that are included in the policy. NetBackup uses the same backup selection list for all clients that are backed up by the policy.

You should back up the following files:

  • All files in the Domino data directory

  • Any databases that reside outside of the Domino data directory

  • All .ID files

  • All notes.ini files

To create a list of items to back up, perform the following procedures:

  • See Adding directives to the backup selections list.

  • See Adding Notes databases to the backup selections list.

The agent only backs up the databases and directives in the backup selections lists. To exclude databases from a backup, place them outside the Domino data directory.

To back up database links and directory links correctly, you must include the local and the linked directory in the backup selections list.

Backups of Windows network shared folders and UNIX NFS directories

NetBackupcan back up Windows network shared folders and UNIX NFS directories. This capability is useful when Notes databases reside on network storage such as NAS filers. See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I for detailed instructions on how to back up network drives and the Follow NFS policy attribute.
