Restoring a hosted environment after a server crash
To recover quickly from various system failures and server crashes, implement transaction logging in the hosted environment. Also, create a daily backup so that you can restore current data if necessary.

Restoring the Domino Directory and extended ACLs

If the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Directory in a hosted environment becomes corrupted, you also lose the extended ACLs for NAMES.NSF and for ADMIN4.NSF. Restart the servers so that transaction logging will restore the data, including the content of the Domino Directory. You cannot recreate the Domino Directory from the template. You must use transaction logging and/or a recent backup of NAMES.NSF in order to restore the Domino Directory and the extended ACLs.

If you are not using transaction logging, restore the Domino Directory from the most recent daily backup.

For more information on transaction logging, see the topics Transaction logging and How transaction logging works.
