We use BRMS with Circular T-Logs.  We back up over 1 TB daily, the extra 
effort for archival is not worth it,
since we backup mainly for user mail file restore requests and disaster 
recovery. 
Unless you have a regulatory requirement, go with circular on the same ASP 
too. It works great and we backup
with the servers up and running.

subject: Linux problem resolution.

In order to save on expensive iSeries disk, the boss has decided to move 
some non volatile databases from our i5 based Domino servers to Linux and 
Window servers.  Basically, when someone leaves the company we move their 
mail file over to these and keep for x days.  This frees up the space, and 

reduces the downtime window for backup, etc on the primary servers.  When 
the reliability increases then we will do server wide archiving of mail 
files from the i5 based servers to these servers.

Now, back to my problem.  This morning the Linux server was locked up 
tighter than a drum.  No keystrokes, mouse, etc would get a response. Suse 

Linux.  The network guy really is not aware of how to look for problem 
resolution in Linux to handle this.  For example in Windows you can 
actually look up codes from the BSOD, look at log files, etc.  How does 
one get started down this path in Linux?  Any RTFM is acceptable if you 
supply a good manual.
