Hi Alexander

I do not think that you will be able to restore a single Domino mail.
However Domino works in a different way to Exchange so this should not be a
problem.  In Domino, each user has his own Domino database which contains
his own mail.  It is quite easy to restore just the one database and then
the Domino admins can extract the required mail from it.

The main issue I have seen in large Domino environments is where there is
the usual weekly selective plus incremental backup regime in place.  To
bring a single database up to date it is necessary to recall and process
every transaction log since the last full.  On a busy server this can take
a very long time and involve the recall of hundreds of logs, and they are
recalled one at a time, processed and then deleted.  So then the next day,
when they can't find the email they thought they should, you are asked to
do it again for a different database (or the same one with a different end
time), and again each log again has to be recalled and processed.

For this reason Domino logs are a good candidate for big diskpools, or file
pools or a VTL.

Hi,

we are planning to implement Lotus Domino/Notes. Will it be possible to
restore single mails with the new TDP
v6.1? I read that TDP for Exchange v6.1 should be able to restore single
mails of an MS Exchange database.


Thanks,
Alex Födisch
