Option

Description

Time to wait for the database to go offline

The number of seconds to wait for a busy database.

Recover databases to current time

Restores the database to the current date and time.

No Recovery

Restores a logged database. Also select either Assign new database instance ID or Assign new database instance ID and replica ID.

For example, select No Recovery when you want to restore to a temporary location quickly. No transaction log recovery is performed on the restored database, which lets you get the version of the database at the backup time.

Recover database(s) to date and time

Restores a database to a specific date and time.

Select either Assign new database instance ID or Assign new database instance ID and replica ID. Assign new database instance ID is the default option.

Assign new database instance ID.

Creates a new database instance ID, but retains the replica ID. This option is not applicable when you restore unlogged databases.

Select this option for the following types of restores:

  • Restore of a logged database to an alternate location on same server

  • Point in time restore

Assign new database instance ID and replica ID.

Prevents the other databases under replication from writing over the restored database files. For logged databases, a new database instance ID and a new replica ID are assigned. For unlogged databases, a new replica ID is assigned.

Select this option to disable replication on restore.

Retain original IDs

Retains the original IDs for the database. This option is available when you restore a database to the current time.

Wait until resources are available

Wait for Domino server resources to become available before NetBackup starts the restore process.

Specify the absolute path for the NOTES.INI file for the server instance

The absolute path for the notes.ini file. The server partition you specify during restore affects how a database is restored (if logged). It also affects which set of transaction logs are used for recovery.

To restore a Domino partition server, indicate the file that is associated with the particular server partition you want to perform the restore.

(UNIX or Linux) To restore a one of multiple Domino server installations, indicate the file that is associated with the server installation you want to perform the restore.

Specify the directory where Notes is installed

This option is available on the Java interface. To restore one of multiple Domino server installations on a server, specify the directory where the Notes program files are installed.
