Restore at document level

Concepts that are associated with restoring a Domino database at the document level are described.

Data Protection for HCL Domino restores Domino databases at the database level. To restore a document in a database, the entire database must first be restored and the document copied.

A database can be restored to the production server under a temporary name, and the documents can be copied to the appropriate database. If for performance reasons, the production server cannot be used in the restore process, the database can be restored to an alternative server and copied to the production server. Running restore operations for the alternative server to reduce demands on the production Domino server is a good idea. Server restores can be run to an alternative partition or to a separate Domino server. For instructions for restoring to an alternate server or partition, see NSF databases restore to alternate server and alternate partition.
