Table: Features of NetBackup for Lotus Notes
Feature | Description |
|---|---|
Online backup | Lotus Notes databases, mailboxes, and transaction logs can be backed up without taking down the Domino server. This feature ensures the availability of Lotus Notes services and data during the Lotus Notes backup. |
Restore operations | An administrator that uses the NetBackup client can browse Lotus Notes database and mailbox backups and select the ones to be restored. |
Transaction logging | NetBackup for Lotus Notes takes advantage of the ability of Domino to log transactions against one or more Lotus Notes databases and mailboxes. Transaction logging may be circular style, linear style, or archive style. |
Point in time recovery | Transaction logging enables NetBackup for Lotus Notes to perform a point-in-time recovery of a logged Lotus Notes databases and mailboxes. |
Tight NetBackup integration | Tight integration with NetBackup indicates the following:
|
Central administration | Administrators can define Lotus Notes policies, back up and restore Lotus Notes databases, and back up and restore archive-style transaction log extents from a central location. |
Media management | Lotus Notes database backups are saved directly to a wide variety of storage devices that the NetBackup master server supports. |
Automated backups | Administrators can set up schedules for automatic, unattended backups for local or remote clients across the network. These backups can be full or incremental and are managed entirely by the NetBackup server from a central location. The administrator also can manually back up clients. |
Compression of backups | Compression increases backup performance over the network and reduces the size of the backup image that is stored on the disk or tape. This feature is only supported for Lotus Notes clients on Windows. |
Checkpoint restart for backup jobs |
With checkpoint restart, NetBackup can retry a failed backup from the last checkpoint rather than restart the entire job. With this feature, the NetBackup administrator can also pause a job and resume it later. |
Backups of Domino Partitioned Server | Administrators can back up databases from Domino partitioned servers. |
(UNIX or Linux) Backups of multiple Domino installations | Administrators can back up databases within multiple Domino installations. |
