[ Converted text/html to text/plain ] Rob, Again, I should have been a little more clear. We don't use Visions to mirror anything for Domino. We don't mirror the IFS, and we don't mirror the Domino objects. We use it for our other data and applications. We're a 24x7 operation, so we only backup a few key files each night. We don't do a full nightly backup. Now that we're using Visions, we run full backups on the mirrored machine. However, we can have the main system for maintenance every Sunday, and I can get my ops people to backup whatever I want them to, but a full system backup would take too long. Obviously, I need the IFS files and the QNOTES* libraries. But I have a feeling there's other stuff out there that would need to be backed up before an upgrade.

Forexample, upgrading the NAB on one server may replicate it's changes to therest of your nab's. Then you'll try something like restoring to anearlier version. Which get's clobbered again because now one of the otherservers will replicate it's changes back to that database. The same thingmay hold true for templates, etc. If you haven't customized the nab, mailtemplates, personal address book templates, started using Fax for Dominofor iSeries, etc, then it shouldn't be a problem.Generally though, we just rely on the backup from the night before when weapply an upgrade. The nightly backup drops the domino servers beforedoing the save of the ifs.Why are you using Visions to mirror your Domino servers to a backupinstead of using Domino's clustering?Rob Berendt--"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporarysafety deserve neither liberty nor safety."Benjamin Franklinmeovino@estes-express.comSent by: domino400-admin@midrange.com09/05/2002 09:08 PMPlease respond to domino400 To: domino400@midrange.com cc: Fax to: Subject: Re: Backup for upgradingSorry, a Domino upgrade.

We have gone tousingODS and OMS from Visions to mirror most of our machine to another 400, sowedon't back up this 400 any more. I'm a little worried about upgrading,because some of my upgrade experiences have not been so smooth.Also, does the upgrade to 5.0.10 fix some of the problems in iNotes WebAccess?Mike E._______________________________________________This is the Lotus Domino on the iSeries / AS400 (DOMINO400) mailing listTo post a message email: DOMINO400@midrange.comTo subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options,visit: http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/domino400[1]or email: DOMINO400-request@midrange.comBefore posting, please take a moment to review the archivesat http://archive.midrange.com/domino400[2]._______________________________________________This is the Lotus Domino on the iSeries / AS400 (DOMINO400) mailing listTo post a message email: DOMINO400@midrange.comTo subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options,visit: http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/domino400[3]or email: DOMINO400-request@midrange.comBefore posting, please take a moment to review the archivesat http://archive.midrange.com/domino400[4]._______________________________________________This is the Lotus Domino on the iSeries / AS400 (DOMINO400) mailing listTo post a message email: DOMINO400@midrange.comTo subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options,visit: http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/domino400[5]or email: DOMINO400-request@midrange.comBefore posting, please take a moment to review the archivesat http://archive.midrange.com/domino400[6]._______________________________________________This is the Lotus Domino on the iSeries / AS400 (DOMINO400) mailing listTo post a message email: DOMINO400@midrange.comTo subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options,visit: http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/domino400[7]or email: DOMINO400-request@midrange.comBefore posting, please take a moment to review the archivesat http://archive.midrange.com/domino400[8]. ===References:=== 1. http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/domino400 2. http://archive.midrange.com/domino400 3. http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/domino400 4. http://archive.midrange.com/domino400 5. http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/domino400 6. http://archive.midrange.com/domino400 7. http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/domino400 8. http://archive.midrange.com/domino400
