Hi Stephanie,

Yes, if you do not run the archivelogs command often enough and the Domino
Log
space fills up, it will stop (crash) the Domino server.  I do believe you
get a warning
to the Domino console, but it does continue and eventually crashes.

Check out the /THRESHOLD=  option on the archivelogs command.  It allows
you
to specify a low and high water mark, if you will.   You can specify values
that will cause
logs to archive only when the Log space has reached the high% full and will
stop
archiving when the Log space reaches the low%.  This way, you can schedule
the
archivelog command to run every hour or two, but it will only archive when
it needs to;
preventing the Domino log space from filling up.

Subject:  Strategy for TDP for Domino



Hi,

We are about to use TDP for Domino to backup our servers in production.
We activated the transaction logging, in archive mode on the Domino server.
We set the log archive backup three times during the day + an incremental
backup of the databases every night + a full backup and inactivation of the
log every week.
We saw (and tested!!!) that if the archive backup is not run often enough,
the server crash.

Does anybody has any input about the log and TDP domino?
How often do you backup the archives? And for how many users ?
Wich strategy do you use?

Any help would be appreciated.
