Re: TDP for Lotus Domino 5.1.5.1 (license question)

the TDP client you can download from the net is ok as an initial install, BUT you still need one licence file from the orginal cd. the name vareys from one tdp client to another, but you can just make a clean install and when you try to start the client you will recive a error message prompting for the requierd license file, that you need to copy.

[ADSM-L] TDP for Lotus Domino 5.1.5.1 (license question)

Hi Thanks for the input, and sorry for the confusion. The script included was indeed for the incremental backups and a different one is used for the selective. One thing that has occurred to me is the licensing. I have registered a license on the server and can see that it is being used, but does anything in particular need to be done from the client point of view. As far as I know, the user will have downloaded the Domino client from ftp://index.storsys.ibm.com/. Will this be ok as an initial install or would that need to be used only as an install over an exisiting 'paid in full' version. I am only asking because looking at the readme for the client it says that is comes in various flavours (Paid In Full, PTF, Try and Buy etc).

The script below is doing an "incremental" backup... not a selective. With "incremental" backups, the .NSF file will not be backed up unless the DBIID has changed. The archivelog will capture the changes. The User's Guide discusses this in more detail. 2. I recommend that you upgrade to the latest Data Protection for Domino. Site: ftp.software.ibm.com Dir: /storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/tivoli-data-protection/domino/win32/v5301/ It includes fixes for some GUI crashes. 3. domdsmc does allow wildcards, so you could do something like: domdsmc incremental mail2\* /subdir=no If you don't want some databases backed up, you can EXCLUDE them. The User's Guide discusses this in more detail.
