One thing to keep in mind regarding OFM/Groupwise backups.  At first we
were having trouble getting the volume to sync correctly during a
backup.  We had to change the OFM properties for that client (under the
"NSS" tab) to an initial cache size of 4096K.  It was initially too
small,  and the cache couldn't grow fast enough to keep the volume in
sync.  This may not be a problem for you however, depending on how big
your groupwise PO is.

All you need to do is backup the GWADMIN and GWISE directories. No
special management class is needed. To restore, restore the above
directories into a separate NDS tree and bring up groupwise

Does anyone Backup Novell Groupwise? I understand that there
is a file that has to be retained longer than the oldest
mailbox file. I believe we need to make up a special
management class to retain the file when we back up
Novell GroupWise backups. I am not a Novell or Groupwise
person does anyone know of such a file?


Also it looks like the Novell client I am working with is going
to purchase OPFM St. Bernard Software, Anyone have any
negative issues with this software working with TSM?

Thanks for any comments/hints/help/advice in advance!


Novell TSM client 5.2.2
