Restore Considerations for this Agent
The following page describes the agent-specific restore options. Additional restore options are accessible from the Related Topics menu.
The Lotus Domino Server iDataAgents supports the following restore operations:
All restores can be performed both in-place and out-of-place. (See Restore Destinations below for comprehensive information.)
For the Lotus Domino Server iDataAgents restore operations can be performed from the client, iDataAgent, and partition levels in the CommCell Browser.
When there is a problem with the Lotus Domino server or the operating system of the client computer full system restores may be required. See Full System Restores for Lotus Domino Server iDataAgents for more information.
Before performing any restore procedures for this agent, review the following information.
Both iDataAgents:
When restoring documents to a database that is outside the data path, and then attempting to open the database, you may receive a warning message indicating that the database is being used by another user, and to share the database, all users must use a Domino server instead of a File server.
To work around this, do any of the following:
Notes Document iDataAgent:
To avoid these conflicts, perform any restore operations using the Out-of-Place restore method. This will ensure all restored Documents are given new sequence IDs and thus will not be overwritten during replication.
load compact -C -daos on test.nsf
Notes Database iDataAgent:
By default, the Lotus Domino Server iDataAgents restore data to the client computer from which it originated; this is referred to as an in-place restore. You can also restore the data to another Client computer in the CommCell. Keep in mind the following considerations when performing such restores:
The following sections enumerates the types of restore destinations that are supported by the Lotus Domino Server iDataAgents. See Restore/Recover/Retrieve Destinations - Support for a list of Agents supporting each restore destination type.
Keep in mind that out-of-place restore operations are also subject to the conditions described in Cross-Platform / Application Restores.
Data secured by Lotus Domino Server iDataAgents can be restored to a UNC path (Windows) or an NFS-Mounted File System (Unix). (See Restore to Network Drive/NFS-Mounted File System for comprehensive information.) Keep in mind that this operation does not apply to Lotus Domino clients on AIX platforms.
Review the following information before performing a cross-platform or cross-application restores from the Lotus Domino Server iDataAgents:
Support for restoring/recovering/retrieving data from one application version to another generally follows the same compatibility support provided by the associated third-party application vendor, unless otherwise noted.
