If you need to recreate the Lotus Notes environment, restore both Lotus Notes databases and regular files from backup.
To recover the Lotus Notes environment
Restore the Domino configuration files (*.id) from the file system backup image.
Restore these files to the path of the current Domino server installation.
The *.id files that were restored in the previous step can be used to configure the Domino server for the first time.
Make the following change
in the notes.ini
file.
TRANSLOG_Status=0
Add the following line to
the notes.ini
file:
TRANSLOG_mediaonly=1
Move or delete any files that may exist in the translog_path directory.
Copy the transaction log extents from the previous Domino server installation into the current transaction log directory.
Or, you can restore the transaction log extents by using the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface. The transaction log extents should have a timestamp later than the timestamp of the backup image from which the databases are restored.
Make the following
changes to the notes.ini
file:
TRANSLOG_Status=1 TRANSLOG_MediaOnly=1 TRANSLOG_Style=1
Start the Domino server to create the new control file of the restored transaction log extents.
After the recovery of the
Lotus Notes databases is complete, make the following change to the
notes.ini
file.
TRANSLOG_MediaOnly=0
If backup images of non-Lotus Notes databases are not available, you can configure the newly installed Domino server by creating new *.id files.
