If you use transaction logging, configure your Domino cluster environment as follows:

• Enable archive-style logging on the server that functions as your backup server.

• Enable circular-style or linear-style logging on all other servers in the Domino cluster.

  By running circular-style or linear-style logging on the non-backup servers, you have all the advantages of transaction logging. These advantages include data reliability and integrity. Also, improved performance can be attained without having to manage (recycle) the archival-style transaction logs.

• Back up the Domino files that are not part of the database as part of a standard backup.

  These files include the notes.ini, user certificates IDs, server certificates IDs, and the cluster.ncf.
