Backups and Restores of GroupWise

To define backups and restores of GroupWise components, use the management console just as you would for any simple backup or restore.

The following capabilities apply to backup and restore of GroupWise components:

Domain (DOM)	DPX has the ability to back up the entire GroupWise domain structure. DPX can restore entire domains or individual files to their original location or to an alternate location.
Post Offices (PO)	DPX can back up entire post offices or individual files within a post office. DPX can restore entire post offices or individual files to their original location or to an alternate location.
Documentation Management Services (DMS)	DPX can perform backups at the library level or at the file level. DPX can restore entire libraries or individual files to their original location or to an alternate location.
Binary Large Object (BLB)	Binary large objects (blobs) are the database structures for storing message attachments and DMS documents. Binary large objects may be stored separately from the post office. DPX can perform backups of GroupWise binary large objects and can restore entire binary large objects to their original location or to an alternate location.

When restoring any files or components involving a GroupWise domain, including GroupWise post offices, you may need to bring down the MTAs, the POAs, the Micro Focus user interface, and Micro Focus Web Access. However, GroupWise DMS restores can occur while those agents are running.

Micro Focus Verification Utilities

To test basic backups on OES Linux, use the nbackup utility. To test the TSAFS connection on OES Linux, use the de utility. The de utility might not be included in a standard Micro Focus installation, but it can be acquired from Micro Focus.
