Domino 14.5+ Backup supports .ind files
Daniel Nashed – 18 February 2026 22:25:17
Domino 14.5+ switched to the same back-end DBMT and the design task switched to in 14.5.
This offers out of the box support for more than 20000 databases without a notes.ini parameter.
The number of entries is now dynamic.
Switching to the new way to process databases also introduces support for .ind files.
This should still say a special purpose configuration.
Configuring a full backup with an exclude list is still the preferred way to ensure you are not missing any new added databases in another directory.
But it can be a helpful configuration for some special use cases.
Here is a simple example using the new system database list.
You should note that the exclude configuration is still in place.
lo backup dominosystemdbs.ind
Backup: Starting backup for 29 database(s)
