Re: Saving Domino

I am a little confused by your request.

Are you going to be saving your system prior to your upgrade, yet want to 
omit the data that was just saved with another backup?  For example when 
we do a major upgrade we want to save our entire system but omit stuff 
saved with the Tivoli backup.  Since that alone takes about 7 tapes on a 
3582, and a lot of time.

I would think the following might be safer:
SAVSYS
SAVLIB *NONSYS (possibly omitting any recently save libraries with the 
OMIT option)
SAVDLO
SAV OBJ(('/*')
        ('/QSYS.LIB' *OMIT)
        ('/QDLS' *OMIT)
        ('/Notes/ *OMIT)
       ) UPDHST(*YES) 
Other than a typo (IBM forgot a parenthesis), and the additional omits, 
the following was from the help on GO SAVE, 21.

Saving Domino










For starters, I'm not well versed in Domino but I'm trying to learn.  We
are planning to upgrade to Domino 6 soon from V5.  Our current nightly
backup backs up the /Notes folder in the IFS which gets our e-mail and
other databases.  It uses BRMS and does a SAVDOMBRM.  Since management
wants the system available 24/7 we rarely do anything else to it.  For 
this
upgrade we want to make sure that we save any non-database objects that
aren't part of our nightly backup.  The upgrade is going to be done on a
weekend after the regular nightly backup runs.  If we also do a SAVSYS and
SAVLIB LIB(*NONSYS) I would think that should cover the bases.

>From what I can tell these are the libraries that we are after:
QNOTES
QNOTESADVC
QNOTESAPI
QNOTESCPP
QNOTESHTST
QNOTESINT
QNOTESLSKT

In the interest of time we are trying to avoid a GO SAVE-21 although we do
want to back up what we might need.  This is running on a 270 at V5R1 and
the nightly backup takes about 7.5 hours to run.  We will be doing a V5R3
upgrade a week after this and will save the entire system at that time. Is
there anything else that we should be backing up for this?  Thanks.
