Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
Currently we have DAOS implemented on our mail files.<br />
We recently ran into an issue where we were unable to retrieve attachments from mail files that had been archived off server.<br />
<br />
Going forward we want to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen.<br />
I am not 100% sure how it all works. Those of you who have helped me in the past know I am no expert :|<br />
<br />
So we are looking to put a system in place. I hear that IBM TSM is the way to go?<br />
If anyone can point me in the right direction or can explain to me how we can do set up so can restore old DAOS/Mail file attachments would be much appreciated,

Hi Guys,

Currently we have DAOS implemented on our mail files.
We recently ran into an issue where we were unable to retrieve attachments from mail files that had been archived off server.

Going forward we want to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen.
I am not 100% sure how it all works. Those of you who have helped me in the past know I am no expert :|

So we are looking to put a system in place. I hear that IBM TSM is the way to go?
If anyone can point me in the right direction or can explain to me how we can do set up so can restore old DAOS/Mail file attachments would be much appreciated,

DAOS - Backup / Restore

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
