Re: Re TDP for Lotus Domino (again)

A compaction of the Notes databases will change for instance the DBIID.

Hi all

I'm still having some problems (re email below), understanding under what
conditions the Domino dbs are backed up.

Can I assume that I am right on the following:-

If the dbs are logged and transaction logs are being created and backed up,
only the transaction logs will be backed up during an incremental which is
why we would need to do selective backups of the entire dbs each week to
cut down on the amount of rolling forward to be done?

But, in this case, will the DBIIDs of the logged databases ever change?

Thanks
