We have a separate "restore server" that we put all of our groupwise
restores onto.  Because groupwise makes you restore the whole P.O. just
to get at one person's email, it would be a bit cumbersome for us to do
it on the live servers.  On the groupwise servers themselves, I run a
"dsmc set access backup * * *" command to allow this.  Since we retain
60 versions, and backup once a day, I can go back to any point-in-time
within the last two months.  When I want to run a restore, I type this
command on the restore server, from the dsmc commandline...

restore -fromnode=srcserv -pitd=1/05/2006 -pitt=08:00:00 -subdir=yes
"srcserv/vol1:\apps\*" destserv/vol1:\srcservpo10506\

So the way I'm doing the point-in-time, if you want to restore the PO
from 1/4/2006, I do the point-in-time of the next morning, after the
backup would've run.  The \srcservpo10506 is just the standard I use for
knowing which PO restore this is, you could just any folder you want.

Hello,


I am having trouble restoring a Novell Post office box using
point-n-time,
A client wants a restore using a specific data but the file structure
doesn't
for that date. But when I do normal restore without point n time I see
the file structure. Does anyone have a specific way they restore
post office mail boxes in Novell I have never had this problem
before.

Novell 6.5
TSM client 5.2.2
