Hi I have been asked to implement a solution for backup of Lotus Domino Servers using TSM. At this moment in time, i am unsure if they will be running this is on Windows, Unix or Linux.
I have done this previously and was intending to implement a similar solution: Weekly full backups, daily incremental backups and frequent transaction log backups, using domdsmc commands. However, a colleague suggested using Flashcopy Manager, something i am unfamiliar with at the moment. Having looked at the documentation, i can see that Flashcopy v3.1 for Windows can create VSS snapshot backups of applications such as Lotus Domino Server. I attended a presentation in Germany in 2011 where Del Hoobler talked about TSM for Mail and specifically, Lotus Domino Server, using the techniques i had previously used. This was my preferred method. So, TSM for Mail or via Flashcopy. What are the benefits, if any, of using Flashcopy? Thanks
