Restoring using Atempo (Tina/Sabre/Time Navigator)

Just a shot in the dark, has anyone got experience of using an Atempo product called Time Navigator (sometimes referred to as Tina or Sabre) with Notes/Domino servers that are running transactional logging?

We’re coming up against some problems when trying to restore and just wanted to test the water and see if anyone is using this product or having/resolved similiar issues?

Comments and thoughts much appreciated.

Just a follow up on this, if your thinking of considering the Atempo product (Tina, Sabre, Time Navigator or whatever its name is when you come to purchase it) think carefully.

Particualry if you are using transaction logging. We have had significant issues with anything other than a standard restore from a full backup. Incremental restores or restores to point in time are fraught. I won’t go into details as don’t want to bias the product but examples include:

  • user interface complicate and easy for helpdesk staff to choose wrong options and cause problems

  • as the restores write transaction logs to the live transaction log drive on a busy system this causes the server to crash

Just wanted to share our experiences, if it were me with the budget we’d have never touched it!
