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 to your backup
program for display:
[PO] Development
[DMS] LIB0001
[BLB] DESIGN_STORE
[DMS] LIB0002
[BLB] TRAINING_STORE
NOTE:
For libraries and document storage areas, TSAFSGW provides the directory name
rather than the object name.
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 places each database to back up in the
/tmp
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 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 verify what TSAs are currently running, use the following command:
./smsconfig -t
Results should include:
The loaded TSAs are:
tsafs --EnableGW
tsafsgw --home /
domain_directory
--home /
post_office_directory
5
To establish the specified GroupWise locations as defaults for automatic backups in the future,
modify the SMS configuration file:
5a
Change to the directory where the SMS configuration file is located.
cd /etc/opt/novell/sms
5b
In a text editor, open the smdrd.conf file.
5c
Locate the following line:
autoload: tsafs --EnableGW
5d
Add another line beneath it for TSAFSGW:
