It’s DAOS Time Again
January 14 2009
If you haven't visited the Lotus Notes and Domino Wiki before, you really should take a look now. Not only do we have the great policy documentation up there mentioned in previous posts, we now have some GREAT entries on DAOS. I encourage you to head over there to take a look. In the meantime, here's a teaser of the kind of information you'll find...
DAOS FAQ:
This blog has talked a lot about what DAOS is and general concepts, but do you still wonder what you do if your DAOS catalog needs resync'd? Also, how do you tell if attachments are really being created in the DAOS store? What kind of troubleshooting can you do? The FAQ wiki entry is a great place to get started to help you answer all those questions and more!
DAOS Backup and Restore:
I know MANY of you are waiting for this entry! I gave you a teaser in one of my blog entries that development would be coming out with much more detailed information on how to do backups and restores of DAOS information and here it is! This wiki entry is chock-full of detailed information including commands to run when doing restores, how to restore DAOS objects and how it all works when dealing with clusters. A must-read if you are going to implement DAOS!
DAOS: How to Setup Resynchronization Events with DDM:
Once you have DAOS up and running in your organization, you will probably want to setup some DDM events on it. This wiki entry gives you all the information you need on how to do that and what things to watch out for in terms of event messages as well. So, to make sure you keep your environment running smoothly, take a look at this!
So..those are the main entries up there now, but trust me, more are coming! (including one on best practices) So, keep an eye out on the wiki home page for the DAOS tag and happy reading!
Oh...and don't forget...you can also learn about all these things and more at Lotusphere 2009! There are quite a few entries on DAOS, so hope to see you there!

How do you position DAOS in comparison with archiving solutions like, say, Commonstore (or whatever name it goes by now)?
