Re: BRMS backup of Domino

Normally we want to back up all of the various other files nightly.
Including .../IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT/*, /QIBM/UserData/LOTUS/LOTUS_SERVERS
and a host of others. I am concerned that if we just used the online
backup for Domino within BRMS we would have to back up some of that
outside of online. And if we have to drop the servers anyway, why
complicate it with online?

Not sure what you're asking. With BRMS you can backup the nsf's and ntf's
using the online backup options and then specify other groups of backups
for
standard IFS objects or any other iSeries data.

We are undertaking two things:
1 - Moving our backup from our "primary" lpars to our "secondary" lpars.
2 - Installing BRMS.

On one of our primary lpars we have these domino servers: NOTES01,
GDDATA, GDSSALES, etc. One of our backup lpars will have these domino
servers: NOTES02, GDDATA2, GDSSALES2, etc. They are clustered. We

audit

nightly for databases on one but not on the other.

We looked at Online backup of Domino using BRMS. One of it's caveats is
that it only backs up databases and templates. I am figuring, to heck
with it. We have a complete cluster, why not just bring down the domino
servers on the backup machine and have brms back it up when it's down

and

forego the online stuff?

Comments welcome.
