About the transaction log cache path
NetBackup restores the prefetched transaction logs to the directory that is specified by this parameter. This directory can be specified in the parameter LOTUS_NOTES_LOGCACHEPATH in the Windows registry or in the bp.conf file.
See Defining properties for a Lotus Notes client in the bp.conf file.
Note the following when you configure the transaction log cache directory:
If the specified path does not exist it is created during restore. Veritas recommends that you create the cache directory before you start a restore job.
If the user does not have write permission for the folder, the restore job fails with a Status 5 error.
If a path is not specified, transaction logs are restored to the original location, the Domino transaction log directory.
If the value of is less than or equal to 1, this path is ignored. The logs are not prefetched; one transaction log extent per job is restored to the Domino server's log directory.
If there is not sufficient space to restore the specified number of logs, NetBackup tries to restore only the number of logs that can be accommodated. This calculation is done only if the cache directory is present before the restore job is started.
