Hi Holger, with TDP for Lotus Domino every database is treated as if it was one filespace. On your TSM Server you can see this using "q files <nodename>".
Like with the ba-client TSM updates the filespace when you perform an incremental backup and otherwise leaves the filespace as it is. So when you stop backing up a certain filespace (=domino database), this filespaces active files (documents) will stay unchanged in TSM forever. When you want to discontinue backing up a database and you don't want to keep this db in TSM, just delete it using "delete files <nodename> <filespacename>" in the admin interface (dsmadmc).

Juli 2002 15:13 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Domino TDP leaves old databases Hi *sm`ers the amount of data pertaining our Lotus Domino Servers is enlarging enormous. The domino guys tell me that they can restore very old databases although the domino db`s are deleted a long time ago. When we try to restore such an old database which on the domino server has been deleted a long time ago, we still see the last version of this db. How can this happen ? Since we backup the transaction logs every hour there is a second problem. The transaction log backups are retained - no deletion happened ! Why is no Log inactivated ? We use TSM 3.7.3 on server side, and tsm 4.1.16 with TDP for Domino 1.1.2 on Client side. Our translog backup script looks like this: set domlogdir=c:\ssw\tivoli\tsm\log\online_nt_dom_tlog.log domdsmc arch /logfile=%domlogdir% domdsmc inactivate /logfile=%domlogdir% The log output is: Total Domino transaction log files ready for archive: 4 Total Domino transaction log files archived: 4 Throughput rate: 5,193.11 Kb/Sec Total bytes transferred: 268,439,552 Elapsed processing time: 50.48 Secs Tivoli Storage Manager Tivoli Data Protection for Lotus Domino - Version 1, Release 1, Level 2.0 (C) Copyright IBM Corporation 1999, 2001.
