Lotus Notes Recovery??

[Tan_Kiat_Fei]

Hi All,

I finally am able to run backups on the lotus notes database. I want to do a recovery test but have a few questions.

1. I believe lotus notes can only be restored to mailbox level correct?

2. Must the database be brought offline? I only plan to test one maibox, and the admin guide says that the database would have to be brought offline.

If anyone has done this or knows how to, please share. Really appreciate it.

Regards.

It's been a while since I dealt with notes backups, be in the past we stopped the notes service, restored the nsf file then started the service, it was easier than exchange

If you want to be really safe, after you stop notes, copy off the nsf file you are going to restore so you can go back if necessary

Thanks..

I will give that a try and hopefully that solves my problem

Let me know, after dealing with notes and exchange, I'd much rather notes.
