Del,

I understand what your are saying;  but know don't yet how to get round
this problem.


I had set up this alternate server a while ago and could and still can  restore
databases, activate and applying logs by following "procedures outlined in the
Appendix titled "Advanced restore procedures"".

At kick off this how my Notes.ini looks:-
[Notes]
          Directory=D:\Lotus\Domino\Data\Restoredbs (line modified)
         TRANSLOG_Status=0
         TRANSLOG_Path=D:\Alternatelog (line modified)
        TRANSLOG_MEDIAONLY=1                                            (line 
inserted)

also

Domdsm.cfg was edited to reflect that "to use" notes.ini file which
resides in D:\Lotus\Domino\ALTERNATE_SERVER_RESTORE.


Maybe, I should mention that this Alternate Server also houses the
Transaction Logs
for the Production Server on Drive L:\
and
the Domino Server  Service on this Alternate Server is always stopped.

Thanks

Bill

Bill,

It looks like you have not set up the "alternate" server properly.
The message is telling you that the Domino server thinks that
there is a different transaction logger id in effect.
However, when you follow the alternate server restore procedure,
there initially won't be logging at all until you restore
the first transaction log and enable logging.

Please take a look at the procedures outlined in the
Appendix titled "Advanced restore procedures".
They discuss the steps you must take when restoring to
an alternate server. These are especially important
when using transaction logging.

Thanks,

Del
