Running Netbackup 4.5 FP3
Master and media servers Windows 2000 Advanced server SPK4
SAN media Servers  Windows 2000 Advanced server SPK3  Also  running Lotus 
Domino R5.0.12.

The issue:
When backup fails to run on Domino server the transaction logs fill up the 
volume they reside on,
crashing the notes server.
Backup schedule is currently a daily full  using the Directive 
Backup_Transaction_Logs and
e:\lotus\dominino\data directory.
Lotus recommends performing more frequent backups to reduce the chance of 
transaction logs growing
beyond the volume size.
Running full backups of the Domino database and transaction logs takes approx 3 
hours and we cannot
run them during the day so this is not a practical solution for us.

Is it possible to only backup the transaction logs w/o the domino database?  Is 
this a recommended
and supported method to backup notes?
What impact would this have on the restore procedure?

Thanks
