Backup Central

Hi,

Each morning I do a full restore of all the previously backed up
domino databases onto our DR domino server.

I do not normally activate these restored databases and have
ended with a 4GB *.pdb file(list of files pending activation) . I am
assuming this file gets bigger everday.

If I were to delete this file, would the next restore be fine ?

TSM for Windows 5.4.2.0

TDP for Domino 5.3.0.1

Thanks

Bill

Bill,

The PDB file contains the names of the databases needing activation.
If the file were deleted, then issuing the domdsmc activate command would
become a no-op because DP/Domino would have no way to determine which
databases need activation. However a new restore would result in
a new PDB file containing the names of the (new) databases to be
activated.

So, the answer is... yes, you can delete the PDB file,
but you should run the restore of all of the databases again
to re-populate a new PDB file.

Thanks,

Del
