Provides a specific GroupWise user database (
user xxx .db
) so that an individual user database
can be time-stamped.
For example, to set the retention time stamp for a user whose user database is named user3gh, you
would use:
34.4 GroupWise Database Copy Utility
The GroupWise Database Copy utility (DBCopy) copies files from a live GroupWise post office or
domain to a static location for backup. During the copy process, DBCopy prevents the files from
being modified, using the same locking mechanism used by other GroupWise programs that access
databases. This ensures that the backed-up versions are consistent with the originals even when large
databases take a substantial amount of time to copy. Starting with Support Pack 2, DBCopy is a
multi-threaded application for greater efficiency.
DBCopy copies only GroupWise-recognized directories and files, as illustrated in “ Post Office
Directory ” and “ Domain Directory ” in “ Directory Structure Diagrams ” in GroupWise 7
Troubleshooting 3: Message Flow and Directory Structure .
DBCopy does not copy some directories:
Š Post office queue directories (
wpcsin
and
wpcsout
): Only post office data files and
directories are copied. Queue directories are not copied.
Š
All domain subdirectories : Only domain files are copied. Queue directories are not copied.
Š
All subdirectories under each gateway directory in
wpgate
: Only gateway files are copied
from each gateway directory. Queue directories of gateway directories are not copied. For
example, under
gwia
and
webac70a
, gateway files are copied, but no gateway subdirectories
are copied.
IMPORTANT: Starting with GroupWise 7, TSAFSGW is provided as a robust backup solution on
NetWare and Linux, as described in Section 34.2, “Target Service Agents,” on page 434 . However,
Linux: ./gwtmstmp -p /gwsystem/dev -u mpalu -n -s
Windows: gwtmstmp /p-j:\dev /u-mpalu /retention /set
NetWare GWTMSTMP Linux GWTMSTMP Windows GWTMSTMP
Syntax: /userdb user_database -e user_database
--userdb user_database
/userdb user_database
Example: /userdb user3gh.db -e user3gh.db
--userdb user3gh.db /userdb user3gh.db
NetWare: gwtmstmp /p-j:\dev /userdb user3gh.db /retention /set
Linux: ./gwtmstmp -p /gwsystem/dev -e user3gh.db -n -s
Windows: gwtmstmp /p-j:\dev /userdb user3gh.db /retention /set
