NOTE: The example is formatted for readability. 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 to your backup program for display:
[PO] Development
[DMS] LIB0001
[BLB] DESIGN_STORE
[DMS] LIB0002
[BLB] TRAINING_STORE
NOTE: For libraries and document storage areas, TSAFSGW provides the directory name
rather than the object name.
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 places each database to back up in the /tmp 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 continue to run smoothly during the
backup. If necessary, use the
space is available. You need sufficient disk space to accommodate the largest database, but not
the entire domain or post office.
