BRMS will automatically generate the control groups and media policies you need to perform Lotus Server online backups whenever the STRMNTBRM or INZBRM OPTION(*DATA) commands are run. The following table lists the control groups and media policy that are automatically generated:

NameObject TypeDescription
QLTSSVRControl groupBacks up all Lotus Servers on the system including both Domino and QuickPlace servers
QLTSDOMnnControl groupBacks up all databases for Lotus Domino Server nn, where nn is 01-99
QLTSQPLnnControl groupBacks up all databases for Lotus QuickPlace Server nn, where nn is 01-99
QLTSSVRMedia policyMedia policy specifying the media class and expiration to be used for Lotus Server backups


NOTES: 

  1. The Lotus Server control groups are intended for use with the STRBKUBRM command only.
  2. Do not run the SAVDOMBRM command outside of BRMS control groups.Do NOT add the name of the user-modifiable lists to the Lotus Server control groups since they will automatically be appended to the dynamic list specified as a control group entry as specified below. If the name of the user-modifiable list is added to the control group, an error will be sent stating that nothing was saved.
  3. *EXITs will automatically be added to these control groups for each Domino or QuickPlace server BRMS finds configured on the system whenever the STRMNTBRM or INZBRM OPTION(*DATA) commands are run.
  4. The following link lists are also created when BRMS is installed:

...

BRMS dynamic backup link lists for Lotus Servers can be used to exclude everything that has already been saved during Lotus Server online backups. The dynamic link lists can be used by adding the following entry names to control groups:

Entry NameUser-Modifiable ListDescription
*LNKOMTONLQLNKOMTONLBackup all links in all directories except the Lotus Server databases that are saved during an online Lotus Server backup. This Entry also excludes various Lotus Server files that do not need to be backed up - see Usage Note 3 below for a list of all of the files that will be excluded.
*LNKOMTLTSQLNKOMTLTSBack up all links in all directories except Lotus Server links.
*LTSOMTONLQLTSOMTONLBack up all Lotus Server links except the Lotus Server databases that are save during an online Lotus Server backup.

Entry name: If you enter either the special value or link list name in an entry of your control group, BRMS will dynamically generate a list of objects to include or exclude from your save as described in the table above.

...

If you are running these lists while the domino servers are active, please see Usage Note 4 below.

If you encounter locks on objects while running the following lists, consider using Save-while-active, ending any subsystems or applications that are holding locks against the objects, or saving in a restricted state by ending all subsystems to include these objects in the backup.

...

Note 3.2: The workspace directory is omitted in the following BRMS PTFs or their superseding PTFs:7.1 SI42066 6.1 SI42065 V5R4M0 SI42064

  If you run *LNKOMTONL or *LTSOMTONL while the servers are active,you will want to specify the path to the notes.ini file for each server in order to omit them. If you are running Lotus Enterprise Integrator (LEI) version 5 and earlier, you will also want to omit /QIBM/USERDATA/LOTUS/LEI/LCCSMP. Starting at Version 6.01 of LEI, this file has moved to /tmp and the naming convention has changed (LEI server name + LCCSMP), i.e./tmp/LEIMED02LCCSMP.You will need to backup these files when the servers are down. If the transaction logs are in a directory that isn't under the Domino data directory, then you should also add the path to the transaction log directory to this omit list.
