Julie -

Can you provide a  little more detail on how you are starting the selective
backups?  Are you using the ADSM scheduler to do this?  Thanks...

Mike

Hi Kelly,
We have around 12 Lotus Notes servers running on Win NT.  The biggest one
backs up between 20 and 30 GB per night.  The backup window isn't big
enough to run an incremental every night (that would take about 9 hours)
so we do selective backups of 3 directories, all simultaneously, every
night, with a regular incremental on the weekends.  You may want to think
about having the drives partitioned or the directories split up in such a
way that you can divide the backups into pieces if you need to.  I don't
use the Notes Connect Agent, but probably will give it a try before long,
I've heard mixed reaction as to whether that speeds things up or not.   I'm
hoping the V3 server and V3 NT client   will speed things up.
I have compression turned off as that seemed to speed things up a little
too.
Julie

Hey gang,
Who among you is backing up a large Lotus Notes installation?  How big?
 Using the Agent?  Performance?  I'm working with some folks that are
thinking of having a 300 GB Lotus Notes install.  I assume this will be on
many servers and not just one.  What's this going to do to my ADSM backup
solution?
As always, I appreciate everyone's insight.
Thanks,
Kelly
