The customer I am referring to was bringing down one of the Notes
replication servers once a week and performing a full backup with
the b/a client. Then during the week they would use the Notes
agent to backup at the document level while the system was up and
running. But this of course was over 2 years ago that I was last
out at that account, so by now they are probably on R5 using TDPfD
for all I know.

Joshua,
A few key things:
One is that TDP for Domino is for R5.
TDP for Lotus Notes is for R4. So, there really
isn't a "choice" of which one to use.
Two, with TDP for Domino, the "database" level backup
allows "online" backups which means you do not
have to take your server down to do a backup.
How are you doing your database level backups?
If you are not bringing down your Domino server and you are
doing B/A client backups, you run the risk of
backing up those NSF files while in an inconsistent state.
That is why, in Domino R5, Lotus provided an API for doing
online backups.
Three, under R5 and TDP for Domino, using transaction logging
on your Domino R5 server along with archiving of the
transaction logging from TDP for Domino you are only
backing up the "changes" to your databases.
Thanks,
Del

Joshua,
Can you quantify much faster.
We use the connect agent and because it is only backing up the changed
items at
the document level, it works pretty well for us, most of our backups under
an
hour.
We also backup weekly at database level and the longest one of those takes
about
7 hours
more data over a not very fast link.
So if we go to Domino can we expect anything faster than the sort of speed
we
see with our
weekly database level backup.
Thanks, John

Works great, much faster than the Notes connect agent. Unfortunately you
cannot restore individual documents, but that's the reason it's much
faster.

Can any one share their experiences with Tivoli Data Protection for
Dominos? What are the benefits over the Lotus Notes Connect Agent? Do the
online backups work?
