Are there any relatively cheap options for online backups of Domino 8.5 on linux?
My company has only a single server and purchasing an enterprise product like Tivoli Storage Manager or EMC NetWorker would be overkill (and way too expensive). We were hoping to make use of DAOS and archival transactional logging.
I have considered shutting down the Domino server nightly, creating a LVM snapshot, starting it back up again and then running a normal. I would configure the server for circular transactional logging and only backup the database and DAOS files. I don’t like the idea of a nightly restart, and it seems that this method might make restore of a single database difficult (require the restoration of all DAOS files as well?).
Any advice anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.
