You can use -servername option of dsmc, like ./dsmc -servername=DOMSRV1_ARCHIVE Servername option should be the name given by SERVERNAME stanza on your dsm.sys, it may be different of nodename. Or, you can make use of two option files: --- dsm.opt (content): servername DOMSRV1 ---

2006-01-26 Thread Farren Minns
Hi all A user is trying to restore a lotus domino database on a Windows NT server, and when we look at active/inactive files, there are only five (we do full backups every weekend). So, my question here is where is it getting the 'keep 5 copies' from. The normal backup copy group for the server

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

Aaah, does the 'retextra' option override the 'versions data exists'? The 'retextra' for the default backup copy group is 30 and the 'versions data exists' is set to 7. But I assume if the databases are only backed up fully each week, there would never be any more than 4-5 active/inactive copies?

Re: Domino Client question

2006-01-26 Thread Del Hoobler
Hi Farren, Right. RETEXTRA says how long to keep the inactive versions. If you want to keep your database backups based on time, (which many customers do for Domino and Exchange, for example), you should set VEREXISTS to Nolimit and VERDELETED to Nolimit, and set the RETEXTRA and RETONLY to the

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

Hi Del OK, that all makes sense, but in this case where we are doing full backups every weekend, and if we wanted to keep data for a year (at least) we are going to end up with 52 full copies of the db in backup. Which again leads me to think that the domino client may not be the best tool for

2006-01-26 Thread Del Hoobler
Hi Farren, For long-term archival, you should still use the Data Protection for Domino client because you want to make sure that the databases being backed up have full integrity. Many customers accomplish this by setting up a secondary TSM NODENAME like DOMSRV1_ARCHIVE and perform a monthly

Thanks again Del That does sound like a better way forward, but can someone point me in the right direction of information on how to configure two TSM clients (nodenames), on one machine. This is not something I am familiar with? I'll start browsing the manuals I have anyway but first hand
