Archive operations typically use a significant amount of resources from Domino. To avoid the resource contention between Domino functions and archive operations, the archive operation can be offloaded by using a proxy. This only applies for Domino running on Windows.
This configuration allows to run archive operation on an alternate server than Domino to save Domino resource.
A proxy server requires:
-
A copy of Domino Mailbox Archiver
-
Notes
Note
Verify that the Domino Mailbox Archiver agent is installed on the Domino server.
After the client installation, the admin's user ID file from the original Domino should be copied to the client so that the client can access all the databases residing in the server. Also, on Notes, go to the File menu|Security|User Security. On the User Security window, select Don't prompt for a password from other Notes-based programs (reduced security). Note that Notes must be running while the archive operation operations run.
