Del,
 
Thanks for the update, I didn't know that the TDP sticks to the original 
filespace names.
 
The global idea was to have the management classes defined so that a restore 
until one month ago was possible. And then once a month an export to allow 
restores further in time. 
 
An extra  full backup could be taken under another nodename with a longer 
retention, but some backups have to go over rather slow WAN's, so a double full 
backup would pose problems too.
 
The mergefilespace option would probably add a version that would expire 
immediately (would an immediate restore prior to an expire inventory be 
possible if n versions should be kept for an active file and this is the n+1 
version?). And after the restore, the imported data should be deleted again to 
save disk space.
 
But if I use the command 'rename filespace' to give the actual filespaces a 
temporary name and the imported filespaces are renamed to SERVER.DOMDBS and 
SERVER.DOMLOGS, then the restore from the TDP GUI would work. Gonna test this 
tomorrow, unless the idea would be shot by then. 
 
Is the same true for the TDP of Oracle / Informix and MS SQL?
 
best regards,
Kurt

Kurt,

You cannot do this. The filespace names MUST end in ".DOMDBS" and
".DOMLOGS" in order for Data Protection for Domino to read them.

Did you look at the "MERGEfilespaces" option of the IMPORT NODE command?

Thanks,

Del
