NOTE:
The example is formatted for readability. In the
tsafsgw.ncf
file, the command is a single
line of text.
For each /home switch that specifies a GroupWise domain or post office directory, TSAFSGW can
determine what types of GroupWise objects are available at that location. TSAFSGW recognizes
four GroupWise object types:
Domain [DOM]
Post office [PO]
Library [DMS] (for “document management services”)
Remote document storage area [BLB] (for “blob,” meaning a compressed document file)
For example, if you provide a /home switch pointing to a directory that contains a post office named
Development, and if this post office has two libraries named Design (located in the
lib0001
subdirectory of the post office) and Training (located in the
lib0002
subdirectory of the post
office), and if the libraries store documents in storage areas at
\gwdms\design_store
and
\gwdms\training_store
, TSAFSGW can provide the following list of directory names to your
backup program for display:
[PO] development
[DMS] lib0001
[BLB] design_store
[DMS] lib0002
[BLB] training_store
You can then easily select what you want to back up.
You can also add instances of the /home switch to point to restore areas for post offices or to other
temporary locations where you want to restore data.
By default, TSAFSGW copies each database to back up into the
sys:\system\tsa\temp
directory
during the backup process. Because it takes less time to copy each database than it does to transfer it
to the backup medium, this procedure minimizes the time that the backup process locks each live
GroupWise database. Therefore, the GroupWise agents can continue to run smoothly during the
backup. If necessary, use the
/tempdir
switch to specify an alternate location where more disk space
is available. You need sufficient disk space to accommodate the largest database, but not the entire
domain or post office.
To start TSAFSGW immediately:
1
Run the
tsafsgw.ncf
file at the NetWare server console.
To start TSAFSGW automatically each time you restart the server:
1
Add a
tsafsgw.ncf
line to the
autoexec.ncf
file.
With TSAFSGW running, you are ready to back up GroupWise data with Novell Storage
Management Services (SMS), as described in
Storage Management Services Administration Guide
on the
Novell Open Enterprise Server Documentation Web site (http://www.novell.com/
documentation/oes)
, and compatible backup software, as listed in
Partner Product Guide (http://
www.novell.com/partnerguide)
