About performing user-directed backups of a Lotus Notes database

These instructions describe a user-directed backup of a Lotus Notes database using NetBackup. This information is a supplement to the operating instructions in the NetBackup Backup, Archive, and Restore Getting Started Guide. Refer to that guide for detailed backup instructions.

Note:

When a user-directed backup is successfully completed, transaction log extents are not marked as ready to be recycled. Therefore, user-directed backups should be used for special situations and should not replace regularly scheduled full backups or incremental backups.
