    Configuring fast restores in the NetBackup for Lotus Notes database agent

     

    Problem

     

    When restoring a logged Lotus Notes database in NetBackup, the transaction log recovery can take a very long time because Domino Server requests the log extents only one at a time during the recovery.

    Solution

    During Lotus Notes restores, the NetBackup for Lotus Notes agent automatically restores any recycled transaction logs that are required for recovery. Typically one transaction log is restored at a time and recovery is completed for the transactions in that log. Because the restore of the log and application of transactions is a sequential process, the restore and recovery performance is slow. 
    Beginning with version 6.5, NetBackup prefetches the required transaction logs before recovery. Then multiple transaction logs can be restored at a time and made available for recovery. 

    For faster recovery of the databases, two settings need to be configured: 
     

    • The transaction log cache path, where NetBackup temporarily stores the prefetched transaction logs.
    • The maximum number of logs to restore, which determines how many transaction logs are restored in a single restore job during recovery.
