About disaster recovery of a Lotus Domino server using archive logging

If the active transaction log is lost, you can recover the database only up to the transactions contained in the last transaction log.

However, if all of the transaction logs are lost, you must have the following to recover the database:

  • An up-to-date Notes.ini file from the Lotus Domino server.

  • The backups of the database.

  • All archived log extents.

In addition, if the monitor change journal is enabled, you must disable it in the registry before beginning the Lotus Domino server recovery.

See Disabling the monitor change journal.
