Domino 8.5 Questions
I have 2 questions.
The first is I'm looking to implement transaction logging for the first time when I start implmenting Domino 8.5. Is there any best practice/recommendation for the maximum logging size when you choose a logging style of circular?
The second is more comlicated. Currently, I have a 8.02 server environment that is clustered. I want to install a new Domino 8.5 server on the Windoiws 2003 server that is running BackupExec. This server would just have scheduled replication running to copy all the mail, archive mail, & application DB's to it so we caqn back them up. The question is, should I put it in my existing domain even though it is not 8.5 yet or create a new domain just for this server?. If I setup a new domain, it makes it easier to keep any of my users from accessing it, but I have to deal with drocss domain certification.
Any thoughts would be appreciated/\.

Hi Bruce, regarding your second question, you can keep the server in the same domain and use the ini variable "server_restricted" to restrict users from accessing it. This should do the trick.
Circular logs allow up to 4 GB of space for transaction logs before the logs are written over. You can use linear logs if you want to allocate more space to the transaction logs before they are written over. The amount of space also depends on your backup software and how it is configured to do backups.
- Keep the server in the same Domain.
- Buy a hard disk for your transaction log. For high
performance/reliability have 2 and raid1 (or even use a solid state
disk). Run it on its own controller. Highly recommended.
Hi Bruce,
