There would be several ways to potentially do this.Oh, and how many weeks back do you have to keep?

  1. Do you backup your Notes server directory and keep a tape backup rotation? And is the Notes log included in this backup? And, can you restore those files to another location (not your live server) if needed? If so, would keeping a copy of that tape each week be satisfactory to your auditors?

  2. If you have a regular down time for the Notes server, set up something on the OS to copy the file during that downtime. If not, set up a Notes client to replicate the log down periodically, and take the copy off the client.

  3. Write an agent to create the new database by name and copy the documents when creating it.

But, if you’re going to keep the copy of the database anyway, why not just change the settings on the log database not to remove the documents? “the Log setting in the NOTES.INI file determines how long documents are maintained before being deleted from the log file. By default, documents are deleted after 7 days.”
