Thanks Andy

First time I received an answer from a person somehow representing Tivoli - 
Nice ;) 

Unfortunally, several people I've talked to (and my self) have done what you 
suggested - with no result! So for the time being, I guess that "we" (around 34 
millions users worldwide (According to Gartner Group & Novell by the end of 
2002)) just have to rely on Open File Managers (and hope it will work) if we 
want an "hot" backup of our mailboxes.

Anyhow, as I started; Thanks for your reply - I am truely satisfied just having 
an answer ;)

Regards
Flemming

PS: Have just atttended in a seminar with Novell, introducing GroupWise 6.5 - 
and their intention of cooperation with 3rd party vendors in the future is 
extremely positive!

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.

Hi Mark

In fact, I would wish it was the case... but several other backupcompanies
have the implementation for the GWTSA module - and in fact I have never
experienced the problems you describe as a part of a *long* history... nor
have I heard of such problems from any of the softwaredevelopers I have
had discussion with.

... and in fact, dont it say it all when Tivoli don't even bother to
answer a seriuos question from several of their customers? So in this
case, all of above considered, I don't think the problem is at Novell -
sorry...

regards
Flemming

It's much more likely that ol' Novell isn't too keen on support
third-party software vendors. They have a *long* history of that.
