Better Edge Backup v5.2

User Guide

 

corrupt databases

 

￿

Enabled (default). If a database is corrupt and

 

 

 

 

 

 

Domino cannot use the transaction log to

 

 

 

 

recover it, Domino runs the Fixup task, assigns

 

 

 

 

a new DBIID, and notifies the administrator that

 

 

 

 

a new database backup is required.

 

 

 

￿

Disabled. Domino does not run the Fixup task

 

 

 

 

automatically and notifies the administrator to

 

 

 

 

run the Fixup task with the -J parameter on

 

 

 

 

corrupt logged databases.

 

 

 

 

 

Runtime / Restart

 

This field controls how often Domino records a

 

performance

 

recovery checkpoint in the transaction log, which

 

 

 

affects server performance.

 

 

 

To record a recovery checkpoint, Domino evaluates

 

 

 

each active logged database to determine how many

 

 

 

transactions would be necessary to recover each

 

 

 

database after a system failure. When Domino

 

 

 

completes this evaluation, it:

 

 

 

￿

Creates a recovery checkpoint record in the

 

 

 

 

transaction log, listing each open database and

 

 

 

 

the starting point transaction needed for

 

 

 

 

recovery

 

 

 

￿

Forces database changes to be saved to disk if

 

 

 

 

they have not been saved already

 

 

 

Choose one:

 

 

 

￿

Standard (default and recommended).

 

 

 

 

Checkpoints occur regularly.

 

 

 

￿

Favor runtime. Domino records fewer

 

 

 

 

checkpoints, which requires fewer system

 

 

 

 

resources and improves server run time

 

 

 

 

performance.

 

 

 

￿

Favor restart recovery time. Domino records

 

 

 

 

more checkpoints, which improves restart

 

 

 

 

recovery time because fewer transactions are

 

 

 

 

required for recovery.

 

 

 

 

 

Logging style

 

Choose Archive. The default is Circular.

 

 

 

 

 

Notes:

You can only run transaction log backup if you have transaction logging enabled and you are using archive mode. This command does not apply if you have transaction logging enabled not in archive mode or if transaction logging is not enabled at all. If you try to issue it, you will receive an error message.
