Hi Lee

I have been asking the same question, and here what's come up:



There is no roadmap since we have no plans at this time to implement this.
I would recommend that you or any other customers interested in TSM
support for Novell GroupWise (or for any new feature, for that matter)
open a requirement through their IBM representative or SHARE.

Regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.


So for the time being, there are a couple of ways to do a backup of GroupWise 
while it's open:

*       

        You could use a Open File Manager (I've used OFM from StBernard - works 
fine!)... 
*       

        Or you could use the Stand-by-server product...
*       

        or you could wait for NetWare 6.5, which will come with the ability to 
make a snap-shot mirroring of an volume as a built in feature.

... as a final remark, I can tell you that I have been having contact to a guy 
named Richard Bliss who have been with GroupWise since the days of 
WordPerfect... He has gone solo these days, but has promised me to see if he 
could make a contact between IBM and Novell... The funny thing is, that if IBM 
was interested they most certain would get the API from Novell (they are 
especially open for that in the GroupWise division!) - but it seems that IBM 
don't want to support this feature... to bad, cause it would add some benefit 
to TSM as a backupproduct!

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with using Tivoli to backup their 
Group Wise 6.0 system.  From what I understand Tivoli does not support the 
GWTSA.NLM.  Are there any plans to include this or has someone devised a work 
around for this?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
