Hi Boris,
We did transaction log bkups until recently, as we were never able to get
our "point in time" recoveries to work. I suspect that it's because of the
length of time it takes to do the database backup (couple of days for just
over 1TB over the LAN). We also multi-streamed the transaction and
database backups to ensure that the transaction log file(s) would be
reinitialized.
I'm still VERY interested in seeing how other sites are doing their Notes
backups/restores.
