NetBackup™ for HCL Domino Administrator's Guide

Lotus Notes properties

To access this setting, in the web UI select Hosts > Host properties. Select the client and click Edit client. Then click Windows clients > Lotus Notes or UNIX client > Lotus Notes.

The Lotus Notes properties apply to the currently selected client that runs NetBackup for Domino.

For UNIX servers: If you have multiple installations of Domino server, the values in the client properties 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.

Client host properties

Description

Maximum number of logs to restore

The maximum number of logs that can be prefetched in a single restore job during recovery. Specify a value greater than 1.

A value less than or equal to 1, does not gather transaction logs during recovery. One transaction log extent per job is restored to the Domino server's log directory.

Transaction log cache path

A path where NetBackup can temporarily store the prefetched transaction logs during recovery. If you do not specify a path, during recovery NetBackup restores the logs to the Domino server's transaction log directory.

Note the following:

  • If the specified path does not exist then it is created during restore.

  • The user must 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 Maximum number of logs to restore 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.

INI path

The notes.ini file that is associated with the Domino partitioned servers used to back up and restore the Notes database. This setting does not apply to non-partitioned servers.

  • On Windows:

    If the notes.ini file is not located in the default directory, indicate its location.

  • On UNIX:

    If the notes.ini is not located in the directory that is specified in the Path, indicate its location here.

    Include the directory and the notes.ini file name.

Path

The path where the Notes program files reside on the client. NetBackup must know where these files are to perform backup and restore operations.

  • On Windows:

    The path for program directory (where nserver.exe resides).

  • On UNIX:

    A path that includes the Domino data directory, the Notes program directory, and the Notes resource directory.
