Time to wait for the database to go offline

Specify the number of seconds that the restore process waits for a busy database. When a database is to be restored it needs to be taken offline. If the database cannot be taken offline after the specified wait time, the restore of that database fails.

Recover databases to current time

Restores the database to the current date and time. This option is the default.

Recover database(s) to specified point in time

Select this option to restore 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.

No Recovery

Select this option to restore a logged database. 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.

Select either Assign new database instance ID or Assign new database instance ID and replica ID. Assign new database instance ID is the default when No Recovery is selected.

Database Identification

You can assign a new database instance ID (DBIID), a new database instance ID and replica ID, or retain the original IDs during the restore. The replica ID is used to synchronize two or more databases that are replicated in the Domino environment.

Select Assign new database instance ID during a restore to create a new database instance ID, but retain the replica ID. This option is not applicable when you restore unlogged databases.

Select Assign new database instance ID and replica ID during a restore to prevent 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.

Retain original IDs is only available when you restore a database to the current time.

Wait until resources are available

Select this option to wait for Domino server Resources to become available before NetBackup starts the restore process.

Windows:

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

UNIX or Linux:

Specify the absolute path for the NOTES.INI file associated with the server instance to be used

To restore a Domino partition server, specify the absolute path for the notes.ini file. This file should be associated with the particular server partition you want to perform the restore.

(UNIX or Linux) To restore a one of multiple Domino server installations, specify the absolute path for the notes.ini file. This file should be associated with the particular server installation you want to perform the restore.

The server partition you specify affects how a database is restored (if logged). It also affects which set of transaction logs are used for recovery.

Browse

This option is available on the Windows interface.

Click Browse to browse for the directory that contains the notes.ini file.

NetBackup browses the local machine where the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface is running. You cannot browse another machine, even if you have chose to redirect a restore to a different client.

Specify the directory where Lotus 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 Lotus program files are installed.
