Kelly,

TDP for Lotus Domino works very differently
than TDP for Lotus Notes.  Domino R5 introduced
an API specifically written for doing online backup and
restore of Domino databases. It does it at the
database level (not document level) so the speed is much faster.

With TDP for Lotus Notes, a TSM object is created for each
document thus creating many, many TSM objects per single database.
TDP for Domino creates a maximum of 2 TSM objects for
each Domino database. TDP for Domino also supports
backing up the changes each night by using the
archive logging feature of Domino R5. Go to the Tivoli
web site for more details in the functions that
TDP for Domino provides.

I hope this helps a little.

Thanks,

Del

R5.

Any experiences?  I know the previous Notes release and the Agent placed a
large load on the server and wasn't particularly fast.  Is the new version
(Notes and the Agent) a better bet?

Thanks,
