How to copy files from one Domino server to another Wednesday, March 21st, 2007 Recently I needed to make "copies" of some Lotus Notes databases and didn't want to do it from my Notes client. This would have take hours considering the database was 5gb. I knew that there had to be a way to do this and thanks to the assistance of my friend Thomas Gumz, I was able to issue a command line from the Domino server console and presto, the database was instantly copied. Yes, it's not documented nor supported, but has been around for a long time, at least since V4 according to Thomas.

So let's look at what you need to do to enable this feature:

The server console commands are turned off by default, you need to first enable them:

Set this server notes.ini variable, like so:

> set config CLUSTER_ADMIN_ON=1 (even if the server is not a in cluster, doesn't matter).

No need to restart the server, it becomes active immediately.

This enables this new command:

CL COPY sourcedb targetdb

Examples for the CL COPY command:

> CL copy serverA!!db1.nsf serverB!!db2.nsf This would create a regular non-replica copy of db1.nsf on serverA as db2.nsf on ServerB

> CL copy serverA!!db1.nsf serverB!!db2.nsf REPLICA This would create a replica copy of db1.nsf on serverA as db2.nsf on ServerB

> CL copy serverA!!db1.nsf serverB!!db2.nsf TEMPLATE This would create a template copy (only design, no data) of db1.nsf on serverA as db2.nsf on ServerB

> CL copy db1.nsf db2.nsf This would create a regular non-replica copy of db1.nsf as db2.nsf on the same local server
