Restore from backup set

[murof]

Hello,

How can I restore a Domino mailbox file from a backup set of Domino Tdp.

Domino mail boxes are backuped by Tdp for Domino with transaction logs.

After a backup set is generated.

Thanks in advance.

I could be wrong but I do not believe restoring TDP data from a backupset is supported in TSM. This is due to the fact that Backupsets are meant to be independent of the TSM server. So the TDP could not reference the data and perform the restore as needed. You would basically have to query the backupset contents and try a manual restore but even then it is likely it wont work.

With the command:

restore backupset BS.6988530 * e:\temp\restoredomino\ -subdir=y -preserve=complete

the restore is successful but it's an entire restore.

The restore fails when I try with only one file. !?!

Did you try with GUI?

Chad is right, backupsets are not supported for API data because the data is usually stored in a raw format that needs to be interpreted by the application in order to be usable. TDP for Domino happens to be the one TDP that backs up files from the filesystem, so you can get some of the data back from a backupset. But it is still not recommended or supported.



You may have noticed when restoring all the data, you get back files named similarly to dbname.nsf.data. This is the data portion of the backup, and the only piece that can actually be used from a backupset. You will need to request individual databases for restore using this naming convention. Once the file is restored, you should be able to rename it to dbname.nsf, and then open it in Domino.



It will not have any of the Domino meta-data with it, and may need to have fixup run against it in order to be opened, but it's the best you can get from a backupset.

Regards,

Stephen
