Example:
load sys:\system\tsafsgw /home-sys:\gwsystem\provo1
NOTE: The example is formatted for readability. In the tsafsgw.ncf file, the command is a
single line of text.
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 of directory names to
your backup program for display:
[PO] development
[DMS] lib0001
[BLB] design_store
[DMS] lib0002
[BLB] training_store
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 copies each database to back up into the sys:\system\tsa\temp
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 can continue to run smoothly
during the backup. If necessary, use the
disk space is available. You need sufficient disk space to accommodate the largest database, but not
the entire domain or post office.
To start TSAFSGW immediately:
1 Run the tsafsgw.ncf file at the NetWare server console.
To start TSAFSGW automatically each time you restart the server:
1 Add a tsafsgw.ncf line to the autoexec.ncf file.
With TSAFSGW running, you are ready to back up GroupWise data with Novell Storage
Management Services (SMS), as described in Storage Management Services Administration Guide
