Recovery scenarios

Failure of both the filer and the Domino server

About recovery of both a failed filer and Domino server

If both the filer and the Domino server fail, in most cases you should recover the filer first so that the data--or the space to recover the data--is available.

Successful recovery of the Domino server depends on the existence of the following components:

Recent, usable backups of the Domino server
Archives of the SnapManager backup sets containing all the virtual disk files.
Note
For detailed information describing how to prepare for loss of a Domino environment in the event of disaster, see, Administering the Domino System Volumes 1 and 2, published by Lotus at www.lotus.com.
