Hi Aaron, I didn't really expect so many replies, but unfortunately they are all different, and I 'm still little bit confused what to do. I didn't understand if you are using OFM from St. Bernard or something else. As I said I would prefer Kevin's option "don't need anything", but it looks little bit risky.
If it's possible I would use GWBackup because it's free tool, and it's designed by Novell and it's proprietary for GroupWise. Can you point the differences between OFM and GWBackup.

Also our occupancy in the system is rather unwieldly, the post offices are very large (huge). But we have a 30 version, retain only two management class. Additionally we archive the post offices once a month (not an email missed I guess is the thinking). But we at least export the archives ... Would love to hear of what others are doing. I'll have to ask the netware guy about gwtsa.nlm.

Kevin - have you ever restored anything???? You will most likely fail.... you can't backup Post Offices online! There is a reason to the fact, that Novell implemented GWTSA.NLM. It's possible to backup the domain... correct! Solution stated by Novell is to use the DBBACKUP.EXE - only drawback on this, is the workstation needed to use it! There is a OFM from StBernard... Novell won't recommend it (we have some problem for the time being), and StBernard and Novell can't seem to agree to which files is neccessary to back up... I'll keep you posted! In fact.... IBM/Tivoli could make a whole lot of campers happy if the pulled their thumbs out of their behind and implemented support for GWTSA.NLM!!!

We back up about 15 GroupWise servers, and you don't have to do anything to back up user databases, POs. Domains, or anything. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4/1/04 11:20:51 AM >>> Hi Everybody, I have a potential customer with Novell GroupWise. Is there TDP for GroupWise (I guess there isn't; I couldn't find it) Only solution that I can think of is by using Presched and Postsched commands to stop and start GroupWise agents. Is there any other way to backup GroupWise (hot-online backup); I don't like the idea of shutting down e-mail system in the middle of the night, and than pray that after postsched command it will wake up again.
