Yes.  If you want to use flat file backup, you will need to shutdown all
Notes related services.  How you do this will vary depending on what OS
Notes is running on.  It's fairly simple to write a script to start/stop
Notes.

Only if you shutdown the Notes server services first (especially if you
set
up the Notes server to use transactional logging). Otherwise, you may
not be
able to restore the file.

We just setup 2 notes servers that we need to backup. I was told that
you
can back them up as a flat file and be able to recover them. Is this
true?

 

Is it easier to use the module.
