I would like to know mroe details about the deletion document.
Supose there are two clustered replica, since it aim to make the second replica to a backup whcih store all docuemnt but any deleted document in the first replica. the second one have the replication setting set not to receive deletion from other replica.
is it also need to set the replication setting 's Space saver - remove document that are not modified in last “99999” days to prevent deleted document reappeared in the first replica?
Hopefully someone else has a better solution for that.
Subject: Clustered Replica question
You have quite a few questions/issues all jumbled up here.
First: When clustering databases in domino, it is not possible to use selective replication (not replicate deletions).
Second: Clustering is a great feature of domino. Its 2 main purposes are failover and workload balancing. I can understand why some would say that it can also be used as part of a backup process, but do not agree with this. Domino also has the ability, via 3rd party products, to enable live backups. Look into this (believe me it’s an area of study in itself).
Third: If there is a particular reason that you need to store old documents that are no longer currently in use, this should be handled by the application (i.e. design). There should be an action to move the document to a hidden view or folder such that a normal user will not see this document. Consider changing the ACL such that users do not have the right to delete documents.
Fourth: If you still want to continue with the selective replication idea, this would have to be set up as one way only replication from the source server to the “secondary” server. As stated before, you will not be able to use cluster in this scenario. I don’t really see this as your ideal solution.
