Use the backup software for your platform, as listed in
Section 31.2, “Backing Up a Post
Office,” on page 423
, to restore a backup copy of the post office into the restore area.
10
Grant the POA Read, Write, and File Scan rights to the restore area.
11
If the restore area is located on a different server from where the post office directory is located,
provide the POA with a username and password for logging in to the remote server.
You can provide that information using the
Remote User Name
and
Password
fields on the Post
Office object’s Post Office Settings page, using the
/user
and
/password
startup switches, or
using the
/dn
startup switch.
If you want users to be able to retrieve individual items themselves, you can grant users Read,
Write, and File Scan rights to the restore area. However, if the GroupWise client is unable to
connect directly to the restore area, it requests the information from the POA, so user access
rights are not required.

Continue with
Section 32.5.2, “Restoring a User’s Mailbox Items,” on page 431
or
Section 32.5.3, “Letting Client Users Restore Their Own Mailbox Items,” on page 431
as
needed.
32.5.2 Restoring a User’s Mailbox Items
After you have set up a restore area and placed a backup copy of a post office into it, you can restore
a user’s mailbox items for the user.
1
In ConsoleOne, browse to and select a User object for which you need to restore mailbox items.
2
Click
Tools > GroupWise Utilities > Backup/Restore Mailbox
.
The
Restore
tab is automatically selected for you, with the restore area and directory location
displayed for verification.
3
Click
Yes
to restore the selected user’s mailbox items into his or her mailbox.
4
Notify the user and explain the following about the restored items:
The user might want to manually delete unwanted restored items.
The user should file or archive the items that he or she wants within seven days. After
seven days, unaccessed items are deleted after the amount of time allowed by existing
auto-delete settings, as described in
“Environment Options: Cleanup” on page 1098
. If
auto-deletion is not enabled, the restored items remain in the mailbox indefinitely.
32.5.3 Letting Client Users Restore Their Own Mailbox Items
After you have set up a restore area and given client users access to it, users can selectively restore
individual items into their mailboxes. This saves you the work of restoring mailbox items for users
and it also saves users the work of deleting unwanted restored items.
