Installing the Agent for Lotus Domino › Configure the Agent › Registry Parameter Modifications

Registry Parameter Modifications

You can modify the following registry parameters:

dll

Specifies location of the Arcserve Backup Agent for Lotus Domino executable file (dbanotes.dll).

NotesIniDir

Specifies the location of notes.ini file.

NotesHomeDir

Specifies the location of the Lotus Domino home directory (Lotus\Domino).

NotesDataPath

Specifies the location of the Lotus Domino data path (Lotus\Domino\data).

dsaobject1

Specifies the location of the Lotus Domino ID file, for example, server.id.

debug

Specifies the debugging level or the extent of generated trace files for the corresponding Lotus Domino server (dbanotes@servername.trc). These trace files contain useful troubleshooting information for Arcserve Technical Support.

You can set this parameter by opening the DWORD Editor dialog and setting the debug levels.

Values: 0 (no trace files), 1 (generate general trace files), 2 (generate detailed trace files)

PreviousInstanceName

Restores a Lotus Domino instance that no longer exists on the current host server. In this case, the settings for the current Lotus Domino instance will be used to attempt to restore and recover the non-existent Lotus Domino instance.

This scenario could occur for the following reasons:

• If you have upgraded from a previous release of the agent to the current release and you have upgraded the Lotus Domino server to a partitioned server
• If you have the current release of the agent and the name of the Lotus Domino server has been changed since the last backup.

To resolve the name of the previous instance, follow these guidelines:

• If the data to be restored was backed up using a previous release of the agent, the name of the previous instance will always be dbanotes.
• If the data to be restored was backed up using the current release of the agent, the name of the instance will be dbanotes@servername. (Sever name is the actual name of the Lotus Domino server.)

You can set this parameter by opening the DWORD Editor dialog and setting the debug levels.

Important! Do not change the name of the Lotus Domino server after performing a backup. Any restore job will always try to use the settings for the same Lotus Domino server that was backed up. If you change the name of the Lotus Domino server, you will have to manually set the PreviousInstanceName registry key to perform a restore.
