If you are responsible for IBM Notes and Domino databases, you’ve at some point probably found yourself thinking about the future of the data in this way: What if I’m asked to restore specific Notes documents that were created ten years ago? If the only archive I have access to is a backup from ten years ago, it will take me hours to dig the documents up. We all know that creating backups and archiving are two different processes. Besides the regular backup, you still need to preserve Notes and Domino data (or more precisely, both content and data) for long-term retention, and this requires a different approach.
