Limitations
The following limitations apply when you are backing up or restoring IBM Domino or Notes data using DS-MLR:
• The backup of email messages received in the IBM Domino or Notes Server Inbox that are created by other email applications (such as Microsoft Outlook or python script) may lose significant content (such as attachments) and/or formatting. Email messages created in IBM Domino or Notes are not affected.
• Memory cannot be released when DS-MLR is backing up email messages in IBM Domino or Notes. The only workaround is to monitor usage and periodically stop and restart the DS-MLR service.
• For alternate location restores, you can only restore a directory to the <username>\Folders directory.
