Bill,

One thing to keep in mind is that TDP for Lotus Notes backs up at the
item level and does not support Domino R5. It uses item level APIs
to read each document in a database...which has both positive and
negative impacts.

TDP for Lotus Domino backs up at the file level and supports Domino R5.
R5 was the first release of Domino that offered a specific API for
doing online backup and restore.

Thanks,

Del

     Can any one share their experiences with Tivoli Data Protection for
Dominos?  What are the benefits over the Lotus Notes Connect Agent?  Do the
online backups work?
