Hi Paul
I've a few questions about your groupwise setup.
How do you back up your post offices?
I understand that there is an API for Groupwise and a program could be written
to connect the groupwise API with the TSM API, but I don't know of anyone who's
done it.
How can you afford to take down your post offices for long enough to backup
80GB? Are you using some sort of filesystem level snapshot utility or breaking
a mirror perhaps.
Our "desktop" group control mail here and use another backup product: I'd
really like to have a TSM solution for them before the question is asked.

What would be the preferred method for long term backup, possible restoration
of Groupwise Mail. A monthly process to save the post offices for at least 24
months for possible restoration.
Archiving directly to tape or creating a backup set to tape are long
processes, I have approximately 14 servers w/post offices that range from 20 -
80 GB.
Suggestions would be welcomed.
