Configuration Several configuration tasks are required before you can begin using the Lotus Notes iDataAgents for data protection operations:
  • Before you back up data with the Notes Document iDataAgent, create a Restore View Name for each partition configured as described in Add a Restore View Name.
  • If you did not install all the partitions with your initial install, remember to add the needed partitions to the iDataAgent afterward. To add a new partition to the iDataAgent, see either Add a Lotus Domino Server Partition on Windows or Add a Lotus Notes Database Partition on Unix for more detail.
  • Schedule appropriate backups for the default and transaction log subclients based upon server activity and business requirements:
