Another TDP for Lotus Domino question. I am setting up a new Policy Domain, Policy Set, Management Class and Backup Copy Group just for the TDP node. The following are the parameters I am using for the Domain; Backup Retention (Grace Period) 38 - (to have 38 versions or 5 weeks even if inactive) Archive Retention (Grace Period) 365 - (leave at default as I do not need this)
I have set up a Policy Set Name & Management Class and I am trying to figure out how I should set up the Backup Copy Group for this Mgmt class. I know to leave the Frequency, Mode & Serialization at the defaults because they are not applicable to TDP. My client would like to keep 5 weeks or 38 days of the DB backups and Tran Log Archives and we will use archival logging. At this time I plan to stagger 4 Tran Log archives every 6 hours, do an incremental DB backup once a day, 6 days a week, then a selective backup once a week, plus I will use the BA client to do backups with excludes of the DB's. I haven't quite grasped the whole concept of how I keep enough Tran Logs for the inactive DB's etc. My question is if my Management Class is defined like below Versions Data Exists 38 Versions Data Deleted 38 Retain Extra Versions 38 Retain Only Version 38 will I be accomplishing what I want for both the DB's & Tran Logs? Or am I doing an overkill? I would appreciate any idea's you may have. Shannon Bach Madison Gas & Electric Co.
