Re: Fw: DAOS recovery

There's a (default) 30-day retention period so that if he deleted 600
messages today, then no .nlo daos files would be deleted for 30 days if they
were attachments that were only referenced in his mail db.

Probably the parties most interested in this will be Peggy and Laura but
in case there are others I sent this to the whole department.

We have fired up DAOS on Domino. What this basically does is if someone
shotguns a large attachment to everyone then instead of it being in
everyone's mail file it will be in a central location and the mail file
will have a link to it. Now, there should be no noticeable difference to
the users. They won't have to click on anything funny or anything - same
o, same o. If they replicate locally the attachment will be in their mail
file. It's server based only. It even supports differences on servers.
Like, for now, NOTES01 does not have DAOS running but NOTES03 does. If
you replicate between servers (which we do) 01 will have the attachments
in it and 03 won't.

Why this affects Laura and Peggy.
Let's say Bob Belschner accidentally deletes 600 emails and he wants them
back. In times past we would restore his mail file to some temporary
directory, and paste the deleted messages back into his live mail file.
This should still work - he just may not have any of the attachments. :-(
I'm still trying to figure this out. In theory, the attachments are
stored in this funny DAOS directory on the server. And through some
intense processing it may only copy it there if someone else has the exact
attachment. And it will only delete the attachment from the DAOS
directory when all copies of the email go away. So maybe the links would
still be intact in this case? How good are you at craps?
