Actually, if you have a running Domino server, you can get away with doing
a restore without using the TDP.

We twilighted our student Solaris servers (moved to Gmail).  While I did
full, TDP based backups before the server was shut down, I also did
flat-file backups of the NSF files/whole servers.

Our Domino/Notes admin has successfully restored the flat files,
defined/connected them to a test Domino server and then restarted the
Domino instance.  Then the restored database/mailbox was available for
extraction of the contents.  I don't know where it goes from there since I
only handle the TSM/TDP side of the equation.

You do  need Domino to use TDP. That is one of the listed requirements.

I seem to remember that you could get away with a partial install of
Domino to supply some libraries.
You will need to install the Domino software in order to continue, but I
don't remember what minimum configuration you can get away with.

Regards,
Shawn

[ADSM-L] Tdp for lotus 5.4.2






Good day everyone,
I've inherited some retired lotus system backups and a restore has been
requested.
All Lotus servers have been removed from the network.
I launch the TDP software and select the nsf file to restore.
When I select restore I get the following error.

ACD5405E There is no server name in the Lotus Domino Server id file.


Is there a way to get this completed ?
Thanks,
Duane
