Ok, so now I know why we are only seeing the 5 files. But this has lead management to ask if this system of backing data up is really the best way forward. Sadly for me I wasn't involved in the set-up of the domino clients or the nature of the data being backed up, so I had no way of knowing there was a potential problem lurking in the background.
So, in this instance users are scanning documents in (important contracts etc) that would clearly need to be kept for a lot longer than thirty days if they were deleted. So, is a domino client good for this? Would I realistically be looking to continue using the domino client to do the weekly incremental backups that we keep for up to 30 days, but then use the normal TSM client to do monthly archives of the databases that we then keep for a required amount of time? Or, can the domino client handle all of this? Thanks again for all your help Farren |-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------| | Del Hoobler | | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | | Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor | To| | Manager" | [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> | ARIST.EDU | | | cc| | 26/01/2006 15:07 | | | | Subject| | Please respond to | Re: | | "ADSM: Dist Stor | [ADSM-L] | | Manager" | Domino | | <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> | Client | | | question | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------| Hi Farren, Look in the DSM.OPT file for Data Protection for Domino. Are there any INCLUDE statements that are binding the backups to a different management class? If not, check to see what the default management class is for the Data Protection for Domino NODENAME. It may have a different default management class, with different default policies. Those are the two things I would look at first.
