Geoff,
We have been running TDP for domino for almost a year now. Here are some
answers to your questions:
>>Does anyone running this have a "best practices" setup?
We have 3 different Domino Servers being backed up differently. Our Domino
Web Server (Not many changes) gets a full "selective" backup every night,
no transaction logging. Our Domino Development Server (Slightly more
changes) gets an "incremental" backup every night, a full "selective
backup" once a month, and a transaction log archive once a day. Our Domino
Mail/Replication Hub server (Plenty of changes) gets an "incremental"
backup every night, a full "selective backup" once a month, and a
transaction log archive every 6 hours.
>>How is the TSM server set up to expire old data? Or is it done via the
client?
We decided to create 3 different management classes for the data: one for
our Product Related Databases (storage retention 10 years) one for our Mail
Databases (storage retention 6 months) and one for our System Databases
(log files, etc. storage retention 2 versions). Expiration is handled by
the server.
>>Do you have any options files I can take a look at?
Here is an example of our daily incremental options file:
COMMMethod TCPip
TCPPort 1500
TCPServeraddress 0.0.0.0 (masked to protect the innocent)
TCPWindowsize 63
TCPBuffSize 32

>>do you have any sample files for each of the types of backups you do?
Here are copies of the different batch commands that we created:
log archive ->
set dom_dir="C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\domino"
cd /d %dom_dir%
echo Current date is: >> domarc.log
date /t < NUL >> domarc.log
echo Current time is: >> domarc.log
time /t < NUL >> domarc.log
start /B domdsmc archivelog /adsmoptfile=dsm.opt /logfile=domasch.log >>
domarc.log
daily incremental ->
set dom_dir="C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\domino"
cd /d %dom_dir%
echo Current date is: >> dominc.log
date /t < NUL >> dominc.log
echo Current time is: >> dominc.log
time /t < NUL >> dominc.log
start /B domdsmc incremental * /subdir=yes /adsmoptfile=dsm.opt
/logfile=domisch.log >> dominc.log
montly selective ->
set dom_dir="C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\domino"
cd /d %dom_dir%
echo Current date is: >> domsel.log
date /t < NUL >> domsel.log
echo Current time is: >> domsel.log
time /t < NUL >> domsel.log
start /B domdsmc selective * /loggedonly /subdir=yes
/adsmoptfile=dsmsel.opt /logfile=domssch.log >> domsel.log
**A very important piece of advice, make sure to read Appendix G in the TDP
User's Guide that talks about recovering from the loss of the Transaction
Logs. Ours got corrupted about 4 months ago, and I wasn't aware of the
delicateness of the situation. It has taken 4 months to bring things back
to normal.
Hope this info helps,
