Quickplace for iSeries joins Domino for iSeries in supporting true online backup capability with Backup, Recovery, and Media Services for iSeries. Online backup implies that Quickplace, Domino and other Lotus Server databases on the iSeries can be saved while they are in use, with no save while active synchronization points. This is true online backup support.
BRMS Online Lotus Server Full Backups have been supported since R5.02c. It continues to be supported on each subsequent Domino release (including Domino 6 releases).
BRMS Online Lotus Server Incremental Backups have been supported since R5.08. It continues to be supported on each subsequent Domino release (including Domino 6 releases).
You can direct your online backups to a tape device, an automated tape library device, save files, or a TSM server.
It is critical that you do not replace your complete system backup with only online Lotus Server backups. The online Lotus Server backups only backup databases. There are other important Lotus Server pieces of data including libraries, files in the Lotus Server IFS directories and other non Lotus Server system data that should be backed up on some regular basis (ie. QUSRSYS, QGPL, etc).
For more information, see the V6R1M0 BRMS manual: SC41-5345-06 Backup,Recovery, and Media Services for AS/400
** WARNING - Until BRMS has enhanced the online function to support the new domino 8.5 DAOS function, users need to do the following when saving R8.5 Domino Servers with SAVDOMBRM:
1. Omit the DAOS directory from the QLNKOMTONL (additional omit list for *LNKOMTONL) or QLTSOMTONL (additional omit list for *LTSOMTONL) Example: OBJ(('/notes/server/DAOS' *OMIT))
2. Will need to do a backup with a link list of all the DAOS directories with *.NLOs on them to insure they are backed up. Example: OBJ(('/notes/server/DAOS/vol1/*.NLO))
3. On the restore make sure create parent directories has been set to yes in the recovery policy.
