Lisa,

TDP for Domino R5 backs up at the database level
(unlike TDP for Notes, for R4, which backed up at the item level).
There is no "document level" backup for TDP for Domino on R5.

But TDP for Domino can also back up just the changes that
occur on your Domino server by backing up the transaction
logs when "archival transaction logging" is turned on.

Now... the only databases that are "eligible" for logging
are databases in the R5 database format.  Any databases
that are in the R4 format CANNOT be logged, and therefore
the only way to backup them up is the entire database.

Once you convert your databases to R5 format, turn on
archival transaction logging, you can take an initial
backup of the databases, and then just capture the
nightly changes by backing up the transaction logs.

Now... having said all that.....

If you cannot turn on transaction logging (for some reason)
then your only choice is to back up the entire database.

You might get TDP for Notes for R4 to work on an R5
Domino server, but it is not supported by IBM.

Thanks,

Del

I've not been able to find whether this is possible, and I don't have a
test machine available to test right now.  We are painfully moving forward
in upgrading our email system, and we have a number of NT4 SP5/6 servers
running a Domino R5 server, but with 4.6 databases & templates.  I am
using the TDP for Domino against the open databases, but it doesn't work
as designed because we end up backing up all the entire .nsf files, since
Domino archive logging can't work in this setup.

I am wondering if, since for all intents and purposes, the server is
masquerading as a 4.6 Notes server, if I can use the TDP for Notes (old
Notes connect agent) to get the document level backup version of
incrementals-- or will this fail since the Domino server is 5.0--
masquerading or not??

thanks in advance!
