About directives for Domino policies
You can add directives to the backup selections list to indicate database objects you want to back up. More information is available on backup selections.
Table: Domino directives in the backup selections list
Directive | Description |
|---|---|
ALL_LOTUS_DATABASES | Performs the backup on all Notes databases on each of the selected clients. ALL_LOTUS_DATABASES means both local databases and Domino server databases. Note: This directive is supported only on UNIX clients. For Windows clients, create a backup selections list that includes the directories that contain the actual Domino databases. Note: Using the ALL_LOTUS_DATABASES directive can have tremendous performance issues on clients with large or multiple local drives. In this case, specify more specific directories or databases in the backup selections list. For example, specify the Domino data directory. If this directive is encountered during a backup of a Domino Windows client, the backup fails with a status 69: The file list string is invalid. If you have both UNIX and Windows clients, create at least two policies: one exclusively for UNIX clients and another exclusively for Windows clients. |
BACKUP_TRANSACTION_LOGS | Backs up all transaction log extents that Domino server identifies as available for backup. |
NEW_STREAM | In a backup policy, the NEW_STREAM directive is used to define a new stream of data. A stream can be any one of the following:
The attribute must be enabled for the policy on the Attributes tab. To backup more than one partition from a single policy, you must back up each Domino partition with a separate data stream. Use the NEW_STREAM directive and the NOTES_INI_PATH= directive for each data stream. (UNIX or Linux) To schedule a backup of multiple installations of Domino server on the same host, backup each Domino server with a separate data stream. Use the NEW_STREAM directive and the NOTES_INI_PATH and LOTUS_INSTALL_PATH directives for each data stream. |
NOTES_INI_PATH= | This directive identifies the location of the notes.ini file that is associated with the particular server partition that is used to perform the backup. (UNIX or Linux) This directive can also identify the notes.ini file that is associated with the particular server installation that is used to perform the backup. To backup a Domino partitioned server, use this directive to indicate the absolute path for the notes.ini file. This file should be associated with the server partition you want to use. The server partition that is specified has an effect on how a database is backed up (logged or unlogged). It also affects which set of transaction log extents is backed up. (UNIX or Linux) To configure a backup for one of the multiple installations of Domino server, use this directive to indicate the absolute path for the notes.ini file. This notes.ini file should be associated with the server installation to be used. |
LOTUS_INSTALL_PATH= | This directive identifies the location of Lotus program files that are associated with a particular installation of Domino server. (UNIX or Linux) To configure a backup for one of the multiple installations of Domino server, indicate the absolute path where the Lotus program files are installed. |
