Impact of Lotus Notes Backup getting Partially Completed.

Hi All,

I want to know, is there impact on the Lotus Notes if the Lotus Notes full/IDiff Incr backup type backup gets partially completed. The one impact i found in the article is, If the backup is partial the transaction log will not be shown for recycle in the Lotus notes end. Is this applicable for all OS type running Lotus notes? Because i faced this issue in Windows 2012 server where the Lotus Notes installed.

=====================================================================================

There is a frequent file skip in the Lotus Notes backup of AIX server and also even in the job details there is error messages but the backup status is showing 1.

No Error Message in below log but status is 1:

Hi

Please work with LN admins to amed this

04/27/2016 01:00:09 - Warning bpbrm (pid=18546914) from client inchnm03: WRN - Transaction Log backup was requested but Archive Logging is not configured (0x2)

so in other words they do need to enable some transaction logging on LN server - one of the following:

Transaction logging may be circular style, linear style, or archive style.

Circular logging style is already enabled. Due to disk space constraint we have enabled circular logging, Archive style logging will be configured once the lotus notes full backup gets successfull without any error.

Do u mean because of the warning message 04/27/2016 01:00:09 - Warning bpbrm (pid=18546914) from client inchnm03: WRN - Transaction Log backup was requested but Archive Logging is not configured (0x2), the backup status is showing partially successful.

Hey

Looks like... Check the LN logs, maybe enable more robust logging for this client's backup and check there too...
