Restrictions with online Lotus Server backups:

• A media policy retention type of VERSIONS is not supported.
• Restoring a saved Lotus Server database across a BRMS network is supported only if the Receive media info attribute is set to *LIB. To review the value for the Receive media info attribute, use Option 4 - Change network group on the BRMSYSPCY menu.

Recommendations:

• Do complete system backups routinely (once per week at the very least).
• Do not attempt to use SAVDOMBRM or SAVLQPBRM outside of a control group. SAVDOMBRM or SAVLQPBRM should only be used as a *EXIT within a BRMS control group.

Current limitations:

• Lotus Servers use subsystem descriptions. These subsystem descriptions must exist on the system prior to recovering the Lotus Servers. If you are performing a full system recovery, the Lotus Server's subsystem descriptions are restored prior to recovering the Lotus Servers.
