Mehdi, Is this a R5 Domino version or R4? If R5, do you have Archive or Circular Transaction Logging enabled? The Backup/Archive client will be good for your OS and application files (binary files) but you will need the TDP for Domino to achieve online backups of your mailboxes and templates as well as archiving the Transaction Logs. A Selective backup with the TDP agent would be ok if you have the capacity to handle daily fulls. Restore times will be much faster utilizing daily fulls but you may have more manual work if you need to restore certain mail messages from the restored database to an existing database.
Hope this helps!

Can we just do a Selective backup daily and will it be enough for recovery?
