Online backups of Lotus servers

Backup, Recovery, and Media Services (BRMS ) supports online backups of Lotus® server databases (such as Domino®, QuickPlace, or Quickr® databases).

An online backup is a backup that you do while your Lotus server databases are in use. There are no save-while-active synchronization points. You can direct your online backups to a tape device, media library, save file, or a Tivoli® Storage Manager server.

Important: Do not use online Lotus server backups in place of complete system backups. Lotus server online backups only back up Lotus server databases. Other important Lotus server data and system data should be backed up on a regular basis.
