NetVault Plug-in for Domino 12.4

NetVault Plug-in for Domino 12.4 - User Guide

Configuring Destination options

On the Restore Destination tab, the Backup Taken from Logical Domino Server (Partition) field identifies the Domino Server or partition from which the backup was taken. If you are restoring a partition, by default, the restore must be directed to the original partition from which the backup was taken. Otherwise, the restore process might fail.


	TIP: If you are performing a disaster recovery to an alternate server and you have changed the partition on which the “notes.ini” file is located, you can use the Restore to Logical Domino Server (Partition) field to specify a different partition number. For more information, see Restoring data to an alternate server.

For the Restore to Logical Domino Server (Partition) field, verify the following:

•

If you are restoring a standalone Domino Server, verify that the field contains a 1.

•

If you are restoring a partition to its original location, verify that the field contains the correct partition number.

Configuring DAOS restore options

To configure the DAOS restore options, click the Lotus DAOS tab, and configure the following parameters:

•

If existing, overwrite DAOS files: Leave this check box selected to overwrite the existing DAOS items in the target directory with the backed-up version in the selected saveset. To skip the existing files and restore only the missing items, clear the check box.

•

Restore DAOS files listed in the following text file: For a selective restore of the missing DAOS items, select this check box, and then enter the complete path to the text file that contains the list of DAOS items to be restored. The text file must contain one item per line. The preconfigured value for this parameter is: <DominoDataDirectory>/listnlo.txt


	NOTE: listnlo.txt is the default filename for the missing “.nlo” files, unless a custom name is specified while generating the list from Domino Server Console.

•

Relocate all restored DAOS files to the directory: If you do not want to overwrite the existing DAOS repository, select this check box to restore the DAOS items to an alternate directory, and then specify the full path for the alternate directory. The Plug‑in for Domino maintains the existing directory hierarchy while restoring the DAOS items, creating the necessary subdirectories in the process. For example, a file backed up from subdirectory 0001 is restored to the same sub-subdirectory in the new location. By default, the relocation directory is set to the configured DAOS directory.

Finalizing and submitting the job

The final steps include setting additional options on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options pages, submitting the job, and monitoring the progress through the Job Status and View Logs pages. These pages and options are common to all NetVault Backup Plug-ins. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

To save the settings, click OK, and then click Next.

In Job Name, specify a name for the job if you do not want to use the default setting.

Assign a descriptive name that lets you easily identify the job when monitoring its progress. The job name can contain alphanumeric and nonalphanumeric characters, but it cannot contain non-Latin characters. On Linux, the name can have a maximum of 200 characters. On Windows, there is no length restriction. However, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended on all platforms.

In the Target Client list, select the machine on which you want to restore the data.


	TIP: You can also click Choose, and then locate and select the applicable client in the Choose the Target Client dialog box.

Use the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options lists to configure any additional required options.

Click Save or Save & Submit, whichever is applicable.

You can monitor progress on the Job Status page and view the logs on the View Logs page. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

If you selected the DAOS node for the restore, review the documentation for your Domino Server to determine whether a resync operation, tell daosmgr resync, is required after the restore is complete.
