RE: Anyone have experience with backup of Domino 6 under Linux? ~George Cisluterakol 24.Jan.03 08:56 PM a Web browser Domino Server 6.0Linux - RedHat, Linux - SuSE
Although hot backups of a moving target with "tar" has it's risks. I've successfully restored Domino twice on unix from tapes that were made with tar while the system was running.
At server startup time, it gripes about a bunch of stuff, but you can run updall, fixup, et al and usually straighten everything out. Between hot tar backups of users databases/mailfiles and cold backups of the whole system at least once a week or so, and a couple local replicas of important stuff like names.nsf, I think you'd be good to go without spending an arm and a leg on high-dollar commercial backup software.
I'd make sure to use hardware mirrored or raid5 disks for the domino filesystem on that linux server too... They're not that expensive these days.
