About performing a Lotus Notes database restore

This topic describes how to restore a Lotus Notes database or mailbox. This information is a supplement to the operating instructions in the NetBackup Backup, Archive, and Restore Getting Started Guide. Refer to that guide for detailed restore instructions.

Each partition in a Domino server has its own notes.ini. Therefore Lotus Notes databases from different partitions must be restored in separate restore operations.

For UNIX or Linux, different installations of Domino server must also be restored in separate restore jobs.
