A proactive note here. If you run hourly Domino log backups and a weekly full backup, say at midnight on Sunday morning, imagine this scenario: A 50MB Domino mailbox become corrupt at 0930 on Friday. You prepare to restore said mailbox, only to discover that you have to 1) perform the restore of the last full backup (from the previous Sunday) 2) perform 129 restores of the hourly log backups 3) each restore takes 5 minutes (not at all unusual) 4) you have to replay the logs on the Domino server You're looking at 11 hours for a 50MB restore, PLUS the replay time, for EACH restore. This happened to a customer of mine recently. You might want to think about dialing back the number of times a day you do your log backups. Four log backups a day would reduce the number of restores in the above scenario from 130 to 22. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Certified TSM consultant Certified AIX system engineer MCSE
