AGENDA
Ensuring a Complete Backup Strategy

Backup Domino after you install the product or after applying fixes to it. To save the product information, use one of these options:
1. Use option 21 from the SAVE menu to save the entire system. 2. Use option 22 from the SAVE menu to save system data only. Option 22 saves the product libraries and directories, including the QNOTESxx libraries and the /QIBM/ProdData/LOTUS/NOTES directory.
server iSeries
When saving a Domino server, you typically save all the information that is changing associated with the server.
You must save:
All the databases Users' mail databases Names and address book for the server
When you configure a Domino server, specify the directory for that server such as /NOTES/DATA. By default, all the databases for the server are in that path. Typically, end users cannot create Domino databases in any location except the default path for the server. If you are responsible for backing up a Domino server, develop a backup strategy that matches your policy of where you keep information. The two main approaches for this are:
Limit the location of Domino databases. Save everything.
server iSeries
Backing up directory for your Domino Server and the IBM-supplied directory:
1. Ensure complete copy of server, by ending the server before the save: ENDDOMSVR SERVER(server-name) 2. Save Domino directory and system-supplied directory (substitute your directory name for /NOTES/DATA. SAV DEV('QSYS.LIB/tape-device-name.DEVD') OBJ(('/NOTES/DATA/*') ('/QIBM/UserData/Lotus/Notes/*')) 3. Save library that contains customization information for your Domino servers: SAVLIB LIB(QUSRNOTES) DEV(tape-device-name)
NOTE: If you use option 21 or option 23 from the Save menu regularly, you do not need to back up your Domino server separately.
server iSeries
Saving everything for Domino Databases: If your Domino databases are not confined to a specific directory path, use any of the following options:
Save your entire system (option 21 from the Save menu) Save all user data (option 23 from the Save menu) Use the SAV command to save everything except the QSYS.LIB and QDLS file system:
SAV DEV ('/QSYS.LIB/tape-device-name.DEVD') OBJ(('/*') ('QSYS.LIB' *OMIT) ('/QDLS' *OMIT) ('/QIBM/ProdData' *OMIT) ('/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData' *OMIT)) UPDHST(*YES)

Windows Server new in V4R5 enables you to run a truly integrated version of Windows NT or Windows 2000 server on your iSeries 400. Information stored by Windows Server appears in several different directories on the system:
/QNTC: Logical representation of Windows Server information. /QFPNWSSTG: Physical storage of Windows Server information. /QSYS.LIB/QNTAP.LIB: Licensed program information that does not change. Saved with SAVLIB *IBM or SAVLIB *NONSYS. /QSYS.LIB/QUSRSYS.LIB: Copies of server storage spaces. A few files change when users are active in Integrated Netfinity Server. Saved with SAVLIB *ALLUSR or SAVLIB *NONSYS. /QIBM/ProdData/NTAP: Static product information. Saved with SAV command.
10
server iSeries
For full backup save the /QFPNWSSTG directory. You must also vary off the Integrated Netfinity/x-Series Server(NWSD). Methods to backup individual NT Server objects prior to V4R5:
Copy server objects (using Windows NT commands) to an integrated file system directory on the AS/400. Objects are then saved when that directory is saved. Use IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM ). Save to AS/400 tape using a Windows NT backup product, such as NT's Backup Exec.
11
server iSeries
When you save, the system attempts to save the directories within the QNTC directory or the directories within the QFPNWSSTG directory.
If network server description varied on - Save contains /QNTC directories associated with Integrated Netfinity/x-Series Server (NWSD). /QNTC requires working TCP/IP internal LAN connection. If network server description varied off - Save contains directories within the /QFPNWSSTG directory. Individual files and directories cannot be restored from a saved copy of a directory within the /QFPNWSSTG directory. Time to save /QFPNWSSTG SIGNIFICANTLY less than saving /QNTC, to take advantage of this, consider the following:
Option 21 or 23 Save, vary off the Integrated Netfinity/x-Series Server(NWSD). Put objects that change frequently, such as files, in one or two subdirectories in /QNTC. Save changes with the Integrated Netfinity/x-Series Server(NWSD) varied on.

Word of Caution... Display Tape (DSPTAP) can be just like the turtle...very slow! ....Many Hours Restore Object (RSTOBJ) without specifying Sequence Number can also be hours... Use BRMS which tracks what's on media and the sequence numbers!
