34.2.1 GroupWise Target Service Agent (GWTSA) for NetWare
5.1
The GroupWise Target Service Agent (GWTSA) provides reliable backups of a running GroupWise
system on NetWare 5.1 by successfully backing up open files and locked files, rather than skipping
them.

“Running GWTSA” on page 436
Š “GWTSA Startup Switches” on page 438
IMPORTANT: Unless you are running GroupWise on NetWare 5.1, do not use GWTSA. Use
TSAFS and TSAFSGW for superior performance.
GWTSA Functionality
The GroupWise Target Service Agent (GWTSA) works with other backup software on NetWare.
For a complete and current list of compatible backup software, use the
Partner Product Guide (http:/
/www.novell.com/partnerguide) .
GWTSA has no user interface of its own, but its presence running along with other backup software
provides GroupWise options in the backup software that would not otherwise be available. As a
Target Service Agent, GWTSA supports any feature that your backup software supports. So if your
backup software supports full, incremental, and differential backups or working set and copy jobs,
so does GWTSA.
GWTSA backs up standard GroupWise directories and files; extra directories and files that appear
within a standard GroupWise directory structure are not backed up by GWTSA. The table below
lists the directories and files that are backed up by GWTSA.
