Lotus Notes Backups

NetBackup supports online backup of Lotus Notes 4 (Windows NT/2000) and Lotus Notes 5 environments. Lotus Notes 4
environments on Windows NT/2000 can be backed up using standard NetBackup with the Open Transaction Manager. Lotus
Notes 5 environments can be backed up online or "Hot" using the NetBackup for Lotus Notes 5 agent which takes
advantage of the new Lotus Notes 5 backup API. NetBackup for Lotus Notes 5 provides the following types of backups for
Lotus 5 configurations:
• Full backup – Online full backups of the common database as well as each users private database area
• Incremental backup – Incremental backups of each database (private or full) that has changed since the last full
backup
• User backup – Backs up a specified user's database as well as the common database.
NetBackup for Lotus Notes provides reliable, consistent online backups of Notes 5 databases.
