Hi again

Providing I have installed the base 5.1.5.0 TDP for Domino with the Paid
license, can I just then use the 5.3.0.1 patch download to upgrade or do I
need to source a different version of the media?

Also, in the readme for 5.3.0.1 is says that TSM API 5.3.0 or later is also
required. I'm assuming that this is part of the TDP for Domino install? Is
this the case?

Sorry to keep coming back with more questions but as I don't have direct
access to the domino server in question, I'm relying on getting all my info
straight and then getting it right first time. It doesn't help that I don't
know exactly what order things on this server were done in.

I know it's at 5.1.5.1 and I can see that there is both a PAID and dummy
license present. But, I can also see this message at the top of the
activity log:-

09/27/2005 14:24:42 ACD0053E License file
(C:\PROGRA~1\Tivoli\TSM\domino\domclient.lic) could not be opened.
09/27/2005 14:25:18 ACD0057E The checksum in the license file
(C:\PROGRA~1\Tivoli\TSM\domino\domclient.lic) does not match the license
string text.

... so I know that at some point 5.1.5.1 was installed directly without the
prior 5.1.5.0 install.

Anyway, thanks for all your help so far, it's very much appreciated.

All the best

Hi Farren,

A few observations:

1. The script below is doing an "incremental" backup... not a selective.
  With "incremental" backups, the .NSF file will not be backed up unless
  the DBIID has changed. The archivelog will capture the changes.
  The User's Guide discusses this in more detail.

2. I recommend that you upgrade to the latest Data Protection for Domino.
  Site: ftp.software.ibm.com
  Dir:
/storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/tivoli-data-protection/domino/win32/v5301/
  It includes fixes for some GUI crashes.

3. domdsmc does allow wildcards, so you could do something like:
          domdsmc incremental mail2\* /subdir=no
  If you don't want some databases backed up, you can EXCLUDE them.
  The User's Guide discusses this in more detail.

Thanks,

Del
