Defining properties for a Lotus Notes client

To run backups and restores successfully, the agent needs to know the following:

For Windows:

  • The location of the Lotus program directory (where nserver.exe resides)

    The agent extracts the path from the following key in the Lotus registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Domino\Path

    If this value is not defined or if the value is not correct, add this information in the client properties. You can also edit this information in the Windows registry.

  • The path to the Lotus notes.ini file

  • A temporary directory where NetBackup can store the prefetched transaction logs

  • The maximum number of logs that can be prefetched in a single restore job, during recovery

For UNIX or Linux:

  • The path where the Domino data directory is located

  • (The location where the Lotus program files reside

  • The path to the Lotus notes.ini file

  • A temporary directory where NetBackup can store the prefetched transaction logs

  • The maximum number of logs that can be prefetched in a single restore job, during recovery

These variables can be set in the client properties. Or you can define these variables in the Windows registry or in the bp.conf.
