Since Lotus Domino is an application non-VSS aware<\/strong>, the DBs consistency must be guaranteed during the Veeam 8 backup Lotus Domino process.<\/p>\n

Using Lotus Domino as corporate messaging system, the databases consistency is guaranteed running custom quiescing scripts<\/strong> (pre-freeze and post-thaw) stored in C:\\Windows<\/strong> in the Domino Server during the backup job.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Directory location where the scripts should be located inside the VM depending on the version of ESXi.<\/p>\n

\"veeam8backupdomino02\"<\/p>\n

To perform a Lotus Domino online backup<\/strong>, a single script can be used instead\u00a0with\u00a0the procedure\u00a0explained by\u00a0Andreas Neufert<\/strong> (Veeam Solution Central Architect EMEA).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Procedure<\/h2>\n

Using a text editor like Notepad, create a script with the commands to drop the connected users <\/strong>and flushing the cache<\/strong> in Domino.<\/p>\n

Save the file as VeeamBackup.bat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino03\"<\/p>\n
Create a directory C:\\scripts<\/strong> in Veeam server local drive and copy the VeeamBackup.bat<\/strong> file.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino04\"<\/p>\n
Now open Veeam Backup and Replication 8 and click Backup Job<\/strong> button to create a new backup job.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino05\"<\/p>\n
Assign a Name<\/strong> to the backup job then click Next<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino06\"<\/p>\n
Click on Add<\/strong> button to add the VM Lotus Domino to the backup . Click Next<\/strong> to continue.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino07\"<\/p>\n
Select the Backup repository<\/strong> and the Backup mode<\/strong>. Click Next<\/strong> to continue.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino08\"<\/p>\n
Thick Enable application-aware processing<\/strong> option and click on Applications<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino09\"<\/p>\n
Select the VM to configure then click Edit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino10\"<\/p>\n
In General<\/strong> tab, select Perform copy only<\/strong> option then click Scripts<\/strong> to move to next tab.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino11\"<\/p>\n
Select Require successful script execution<\/strong> option to enable the scripts fields. Click Browse<\/strong> button next to Pre-freeze script<\/strong> and select the file previously created.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino12\"<\/p>\n
Select the file script created then click Open<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino13\"<\/p>\n
Click OK<\/strong> twice to save the settings.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino14\"<\/p>\n
From the drop-down menu, set the Credentials<\/strong> then click Next<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino15\"<\/p>\n
Specify the job scheduling options then click Create<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino16\"<\/p>\n
Click Finish<\/strong> to exit the wizard.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino17\"<\/p>\n
To manual execute the backup, right click the new created backup job and select Start<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino18\"<\/p>\n
The backup job runs the pre-freeze script<\/strong> (VeeamBackup.bat<\/em>) to drop all the connections and flushing the cache.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino19\"<\/p>\n
In Lotus Domino the commands in the\u00a0pre-freeze script<\/strong>\u00a0are executed.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino20\"<\/p>\n
Veeam backup safely creates the snapshot<\/strong> keeping all the DBs consistent.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino21\"<\/p>\n
The process\u00a0completes successfully.<\/p>\n
\"veeam8backupdomino22\"<\/p>\n
This solution keeps all the configurations inside Veeam server<\/strong> making the overall backup process centralized (scripts included) and with a better control.\"firma\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
