About the Lotus Notes database files that can be backed up
NetBackup for Lotus Notes supports the following database types:
.NTF Lotus Notes template files
.NSF Lotus Notes server files
.BOX Lotus Notes mailbox files
For UNIX clients, you can allow Lotus Notes databases with other extensions to be backed up (or limit the default list of extensions). Create the file /usr/openv/netbackup/lotus.conf. If the lotus.conf file exists, the default extensions are overridden and only those databases with the extensions listed are backed up. In the lotus.conf file, enter each extension on a separate line. Enter only the extension with no leading period or trailing characters.
The Domino server has the ability to log transactions against one or more Lotus Notes databases. All databases are logged by default when the following occurs:
The administrator enables transaction logging.
The database is in the Domino data directory.
All logged database transactions go into a single transaction log that consists of one or more files or extents. NetBackup supports all transaction logging styles: circular, linear, or archive.
When archive-style logging is used, the log files can serve as the incremental backup for logged databases. The database agent does not delete the transaction log extents after backup. The Domino server manages when a transaction log extent is reused.
