About Third-Party Applications

1 2
Two of the most important categories of third-party applications are anti-virus software and backup
software.
Anti-Virus Software
For a current list of antivirus software vendors that support Novell Open Enterprise Server, see
Novell Open Enterprise Server Partner Support: Backup and Antivirus Support (http://
www.novell.com/products/openenterpriseserver/partners_communities.html). This list is updated
quarterly.
IMPORTANT: If you run server-based anti-virus software, configure it so that it does not scan
GroupWise directory structures such as domains and post offices where file locking conflicts can
create problems for the GroupWise agents. If you need virus scanning on GroupWise data, check the
GroupWise Partner Products page (http://www.novell.com/partnerguide/p100031.html) for
compatible products.
Backup Software
For a current list of backup software vendors that support Novell Open Enterprise Server, see Novell
Open Enterprise Server Partner Support: Backup and Antivirus Support (http://www.novell.com/
products/openenterpriseserver/partners_communities.html). This list is updated quarterly.
