Re: GroupWise backup

Just my two pennorth. I just used to back up my servers as-is without shutting
down. Initially I ran a ManageWise graph on disk IO to pick a quiet period
after the nightly GW maintenance which defasults to midnight. I've always been
able to restore our POs and extract deleted mails and restore deleted mailboxes
by restoring the Domain from the same backup, changing the access to Direct and
accessing the user's mailbox. Never had any problems once I got the quiet
period. The largest PO was 35GB
I suggest that you check it out - it just might work!
Now we're on Exchange. I leave the rest to your imagination!

Hi all
First of all... Kevin - have you ever restored anything???? You will most
likely fail.... you can't backup Post Offices online! There is a reason to the
fact, that Novell implemented GWTSA.NLM.
It's possible to backup the domain... correct! Solution stated by Novell is to
use the DBBACKUP.EXE - only drawback on this, is the workstation needed to use
it!
There is a OFM from StBernard... Novell won't recommend it (we have some
problem for the time being), and StBernard and Novell can't seem to agree to
which files is neccessary to back up... I'll keep you posted!
In fact.... IBM/Tivoli could make a whole lot of campers happy if the pulled
their thumbs out of their behind and implemented support for GWTSA.NLM!!!

You don't have to shut down GroupWise to back it up. We back up about 15
GroupWise servers, and you don't have to do anything to back up user databases,
POs. Domains, or anything.

Hi Everybody,
I have a potential customer with Novell GroupWise.
Is there TDP for GroupWise (I guess there isn't; I couldn't find it)
Only solution that I can think of is by using Presched and Postsched commands
to stop and start GroupWise agents.
Is there any other way to backup GroupWise (hot-online backup); I don't like
the idea of shutting down e-mail system in the middle of the night, and than
pray that after postsched command it will wake up again.
