About backups in a multiple Domino server environment

The following examples illustrate possible configurations of the backup selections list when used to back up a Lotus multiple server installation environment.

Table: Multiple Domino server examples

Environment

NetBackup policy

The environment is a multiple Domino server installation environment that runs with two installations.

For example: installation 1 of 7.5 version and installation 2 of 7.6 version are installed at /opt/lotus75/lotus and /opt/lotus76/lotus respectively. The Domino data directory for installation 1 is located at /db/notesdata1 and the Domino data directory for installation 2 is located at /db/notesdata2.

To back up this environment with two separate NetBackup policies, add the following to the backup selections list:

Policy 1

NOTES_INI_PATH=/db/notesdata1/notes.ini
NOTES_INSTALL_PATH=/opt/lotus75/lotus
/db/notesdata1

Policy 2

NOTES_INI_PATH=/db/notesdata2/notes.ini
NOTES_INSTALL_PATH=/opt/lotus76/lotus
/db/notesdata2

The environment is a multiple Domino server installation environment that runs with three installations.

For example: installation 1 of 7.1 version, installation 2 of 7.5 version, and installation 3 of 7.6 version are installed at /opt/lotus71/lotus, /opt/lotus75/lotus and /opt/lotus76/lotus, respectively. The Domino data directory for installation 1 is located at /db/notesdata1, the Domino data directory for installation 2 is located at /db/notesdata2, and the Domino data directory for installation 3 is located at /db/notesdata3. Each installation is configured to use archive style transaction logging.

To back up this environment with a single NetBackup policy, add following to the backup selections list:

Policy 1

NEW_STREAM
NOTES_INI_PATH=/db/notesdata1/notes.ini
NOTES_INSTALL_PATH=/opt/lotus71/lotus
/db/notesdata1
BACKUP_TRANSACTION_LOGS
NEW_STREAM
NOTES_INI_PATH=/db/notesdata2/notes.ini
NOTES_INSTALL_PATH=/opt/lotus75/lotus
/db/notesdata2
BACKUP_TRANSACTION_LOGS
NEW_STREAM
NOTES_INI_PATH=/db/notesdata3/notes.ini
NOTES_INSTALL_PATH=/opt/lotus76/lotus
/db/notesdata3
BACKUP_TRANSACTION_LOGS
