When DAOS is enabled for Domino, Domino includes the following values in the notes.ini file. The values in the notes.ini file should not be changed directly by the user, they should only be changed by updating the properties on the Domino server and restarting the server.

DAOSEnabled

If the notes.ini file contains DAOSEnabled=0, or DAOSEnabled is not in the notes.ini file, then no DAOS objects will be saved. If DAOS is enabled with DAOSEnabled=1, then DAOS objects will be saved from the directory path name identified by DAOSBasePath in the notes.ini file.

DAOSBasePath

The directory path name for DAOS .nlo objects. The DAOS .nlo objects will be in sub-directories identified by DAOSBasePath. If the DAOSBasePath name doesn't start with a '/', then the .nlo objects will be found in a directory relative to the Domino data directory. If the name starts with a '/', then it is an absolute path name to the .nlo objects and is not relative to the Domino directory.

The following steps must be taken to enable successful backups of DAOS objects for Domino 8.5.1 and above:
