Recovering a Lotus Domino server and its databases

Use the following steps to recover a Lotus Domino server and its databases.

To recover a Lotus Domino server and databases

  1. Restore or re-install the Lotus Domino server program directory to the same location as before the disaster occurred.

  2. Restore the notes.ini, cert.id, and <server>.id files from the last full backup of the Lotus Domino server program directory.

  3. Use Backup Exec to restore the databases to the Domino data directory.

    Backup Exec automatically restores all DAOS NLO files along with the DAOS-enabled databases. In addition, Domino automatically recreates both the daos.cfg file and the daoscat.nsf when you restart the Domino server.

  4. Start the Lotus Domino Server.
