Lotus Notes Backup and Recovery

Making regular Lotus Notes backups is a necessity if your company uses IBM Lotus products for messaging, browsing, collaboration, etc. Lotus Notes is a document-based, schemaless, loosely structured database with support for rich content, powerful indexing facilities and pre-built applications (like email, calendar, etc.). It incorporates a cross-platform distributed database/messaging framework and an application development environment. Due to its highly complicated design, backups of Lotus Notes/Domino data can't be made through a regular files-based method. To backup Lotus Domino server and Lotus Notes data you need a special software, such as Handy Backup.

Why Backup Lotus Notes

Compared to other types of data, databases and email clients present the most challenge in terms of backup and recovery due to the fact that they contain great amounts of important data which is constantly accessed and modified. Lotus Notes works with very different types of user data (emails, calendars, shared documents, etc.), and Lotus Notes backup may include the whole database or any specific items, e.g. email only.

Handy Backup allows performing complete backup of Lotus Notes databases, as well as more focused backup of Lotus Notes mail, calendars, or other selected database components.
