If you use
TSAFS
on NetWare 6.5/OES NetWare or Linux to back up user databases, the backup
time stamp is automatically added as part of the backup process. However, if you do not use TSAFS,
you must use GWTMSTMP to make sure that user databases are time-stamped so that items will not
be prematurely purged.
Restore
If you use
TSAFS
on NetWare 6.5/OES NetWare or Linux to restore a mailbox, the restore time
stamp is automatically added as part of the restore process. However, if you do not use TSAFS, you
can use GWTMSTMP to add the restore time stamp to the database. The restore time stamp is not
required for any GroupWise feature to work properly. Its primary purpose is informational.
Retention
If you use a message retention application (see
Chapter 33, “Retaining User Messages,” on
page 435
), the application should automatically add the retention time stamp after retaining the
database’s messages. Any messages with dates that are newer than the retention time stamp cannot
be purged from the database.
You can also use GWTMSTMP to manually add a retention time stamp.
34.3.2 Running GWTMSTMP on NetWare
The GWTMSTMP program (
gwtmstmp.nlm
) is installed into the same directory where you
installed the GroupWise agents (POA and MTA). You can copy it to additional locations if needed.
To check the existing time stamp on all GroupWise user databases in a post office, use the following
command:
Syntax:
gwtmstmp.nlm /p-
volume
:\
post_office_directory
Example:
gwtmstmp.nlm /p-sys:\gwsystem\dev
The results are written to the
console.log
file.
To set a current time stamp on all user databases in a post office, use the following command:
Syntax:
gwtmstmp.nlm /p-
volume
:\
post_office_directory
/set
Example:
gwtmstmp.nlm /p-sys:\gwsystem\dev /set
A basic backup time stamp can also be set in ConsoleOne. Select a Post Office object, then click
Tools > GroupWise Utilities > Backup/Restore Mailbox.
On the
Backup
tab, select
Backup
, then
click
Yes
.
More specialized functionality is provided through additional GWTMSTMP startup switches. See
Section 34.3.5, “GWTMSTMP Startup Switches,” on page 464
.
