Backing up and restoring Notes client files
IBM® Lotus® Domino® administrators should periodically back up IBM Lotus Notes® user's applications and files.

About this task

Backing up a Lotus Notes user's personalized data and settings periodically, and specifically prior to Notes® client upgrade, is suggested. For current details on Lotus Notes client backup and restore, and how backup and restore can be simplified by use of Lotus Notes roaming user enablement, see the Lotus Notes and Domino wiki article on backup and restore in the related topics below.

Note: Much backup and restore is not necessary for Notes roaming users as their personalized applications and files are not held on the local client system but rather reside centrally on a roaming server, which is presumably backed up on a consistent basis.
