Backup LotusNotes databases using user-defined selections

[Armin_Hennecke]

Hi,
when using a user-defined selection like \\1.2.3.4\D$ I can see the files in this partition. But I don't see the Notes databases though the Notes Agent is installed. Is it possible to use this agent with user-defined selections?
We are using Veritas 10.1 Rev 5629.

Many greetings, Armin

Hello,

Have you also installed the remote agent on the lotus server?

Yes, I did. And I can see the databases when using Remote Selections with the Microsoft Windows Network computer name. So I think the agent will be ok.
But in this case I have to use User-defined Selections.

Just out of curiosity,

Why do you need to use UserDefinedShares rather than just browsing to it in the Selection List?

[Armin_Hennecke]

Because I want to use a second networking-adapter (is this the correct word?) which I can't see in the selection list. So I have to use its ip-adress.

Have you tried the "Use Specified Network" option on the job desription?

[Armin_Hennecke]

No, I didn't because there's only one networking card installed in the media server.

The background for my problems is the following: We are using two network-technologies, ethernet and tokenring. These segments are connected via a router. The Notes-server uses tokenring, the media-server uses ethernet. The data has to pass the router and the backup becomes very slow. My idea is to activate the onbard ethernet at the Notes-server to backup the Notes-databases bypassing the router. But I'm afraid getting problems with WINS when installing two networking card under the same computer name. So I would like to use user-defined selections.

Gr3eeting, Armin

Hi,

User defined selection using IP Address wont display the databases.

User defined selection using the NETBIOS name alone will enable you to see the Lotus databases.
