If you use transaction logging, configure your Domino cluster environment as follows:
Enable archive-style logging on the server that functions as your backup server.
Enable circular-style or linear-style logging on all other servers in the Domino cluster.
By running circular-style or linear-style logging on the non-backup servers, you have all the advantages of transaction logging. These advantages include data reliability and integrity. Also, improved performance can be attained without having to manage (recycle) the archival-style transaction logs.
Back up Domino files that are not part of the database as part of a standard backup.
These files include the notes.ini, user certificates ids, server certificates ids, and the cluster.ncf.
