If you have an alternate Domino server or partition available, you should use the alternate restore procedures described in Appendix A of the User's Guide under "Advance restore procedures", If you don't have an alternate server or partition to perform restores, you should set the notes.ini variable 'TRANSLOG_ALTERNATE_PATH'. When you specified an alternate path on separate disk, the Domino server access to the restored logs does not contend with access to the active log. If the slow processing was the result of slow disk access, you should see an improvement in the time it gets to restore and a process. the logs.

Domino Client is 5.1.5.1. Backend is a 3584 with 6xLTO2 drives. We've been cutting over our email users from their old product and so email volumes have increased dramatically. Currently we run a selective once per week, incrementals daily (about 5% of databases get compressed on any given day) and archivelog backups every four hours. Our busiest domino instance produced over 2600 x 64MB transaction logs last week. Now, when we had to do some serious roll forward recoveries a while back, it took about 2 to 3 minutes per log to do the restore and roll forward. Thus we are looking at a worst case of something like 18 hours to roll forward a full day's logs for 1 database, or a bit over 5 days for a week's work. So, yes, we will have to to selectives more frequently, probably half of the farm every night, but we also need to speed up the log apply process. I'm thinking that increasing the size of the domino transaction logs will probably help with this, and I've got my Domino admins researching their end, but would appreciate input from users on this list. Thanks Steve Harris AIX and TSM Admin Currently in Sydney, Soon back in Brisbane, Australia
