I have a question regarding backup of transaction logs on IBM System i using BRMS. The server is running i5/OS V6R1. The backups are run using the SAVDOMBRM command first and then *LNKOMTONL. When looking thru the WRKMEDIBRM information I am not able to find the transaction logs.
First of all, is it necessary to back up these files? And if it is necessary does anyone know how to do it?
I have searched the forums with no luck.
Answers will be deeply appreciated.
Subject: Are you running archive or circular txn logging ?
I you are running circular, then they don’t need to be backed up. If archive, then you have to use something that supports the domino txn logging archive api’s. It sounds like you are running circular (otherwise you would be running into disk full issues) and so you don’t need to back them up.

Subject: Circular logging
Yes that’s right, we are running circular logging. This means that our backups are OK.
Thank you for your time.
