Jack,
TDP for Lotus Notes and TDP for Lotus Domino
are not compatible with each other.
With Lotus Domino Server R5, Lotus provided an API
solely for the purposes of backup and restore.
It is done at the database level.
Domino R4 did not have this...and so the technique
for backing up and restoring on Domino R4 was very different.
It was done at the item level.
It is possible that you could get TDP for Lotus Notes
to restore data to a Domino R5 server but be aware that
it is not supported (translation: it may work but if
it doesn't, IBM support won't take APARs.)
I would suggest backing up your R5 servers with TDP for
Lotus Domino and keep an R4 server around in the event
that you need, for some reason, to go back to a
TDP for Lotus Notes (R4) backup.
(Side comment: Backing up your Lotus databases with the
TSM base client is fine... be aware, however, that if you
do this while your Domino server is running, it is possible
to get "inconsistent" backups.)
Thanks,
Del
