File Systems (TSAFSGW) for NetWare 6.x/OES and Linux," on page 439.

5.17.4 GroupWise Backup Time Stamp Utility (GWTMSTMP)

The GroupWise Backup Time Stamp utility (GWTMSTMP) can be used to place a time stamp on a
GroupWise user database to indicate the last time the database was backed up. If a user deletes an
item from his or her mailbox and purges it from the Trash, the item is only deleted from the user's
database if the time stamp shows that the item would have already been backed up. Otherwise, the
item remains in the user's database until the database is backed up, at which time it is deleted from
the working database.
For information about using the GroupWise Backup Time Stamp utility, see Section 34.3,
"GroupWise Time Stamp Utility," on page 448.

5.17.5 GroupWise Database Copy Utility (DBCOPY)

The GroupWise Database Copy utility (DBCOPY) copies files from a live GroupWise system to a
static location for backup. During the copy process, DBCOPY prevents the files from being
modified, using the same locking mechanism used by other GroupWise programs that access
databases. This ensures that the backed-up versions are consistent with the originals even when large
databases take a substantial amount of time to copy.
For information about using the GroupWise Database Copy utility, see Section 34.4, "GroupWise
Database Copy Utility," on page 455.

5.17.6 GroupWise Generate CSR Utility (GWCSRGEN)

To provide secure communication through an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connection, the
GroupWise Agents (MTA, POA, and Internet Agent) require access to a server certificate and
private key.
You can use the GroupWise Generate CSR utility (GWCSRGEN) to generate a Certificate Signing
Request (CSR) file and a Private Key file.
The CSR file, which is Base64 encoded, contains the information required for a Certificate
Authority (CA) to issue you a server certificate. This server certificate, when paired with the private
key generated by the GroupWise Generate CSR utility, enables GroupWise agents to use SSL
connections.
For information about SSL and certificates, see Section 71.2, "Server Certificates and SSL
Encryption," on page 1119.
