Hi Tim,

We are backing up 80 GW post offices with 50,000 users and millions of
object each.
We don't have any problems.

We are using NetWare 6.5 SP2.

Are you using the TSAFS switch EnableGroupwise=true ?

We are using a Management Class for (Shrdynamic) as its copy
Serialization.

And we don't need any retries.

The only files we had to exclude are messages which are in the process of
being sent or received (transient).

Other than that we have a 100% success rate.  These are tested backups as we
are restoring at least 5 post offices a week.

Cheers

Kind Regards

Marco Malgarini

To satisfy our Novell client  ( They know that such "fuzzy" backups may
or may not restore properly)
I am going to set up the Management Class for (Shrdynamic) as its copy
serialization. They
would like to at least try this.

If we have a Management Class already set up could I just edit the
dsm.opt file of
the Novell servers and enter the following

include GW:/.../*.db SPECIAL<<<<name of Mgmt class


Mgmt Class Name      SPECIAL
Default Mgmt Class ?     No
Description     Mgmt Class for open Files


PRODUCTION PRODUCTION SPECIAL STANDARD

Policy Domain Name     PRODUCTION
Policy Set Name     PRODUCTION
Mgmt Class Name     SPECIAL
Copy Group Name     STANDARD
Versions Data Exists     14
Versions Data Deleted     7
Retain Extra Versions     90
Retain Only Version     365
Copy Mode     MODIFIED
Copy Serialization     SHRDYNAMIC
Copy Frequency     1
Copy Destination     BACKUPPOOL
Table of Contents (TOC) Destination     -
Last Update Date/Time     2006-09-08 13:14:22.000000
Last Update by (administrator)     $$CONFIG_MANAGER$$
Managing profile     DEFAULT_PROFILE


If I can do this would I still have to validate and activate the
modified policyset?

Thanks
