Recommendation for GW POs

What agent would you recommend one use when backup up a complete GroupWise 7.x Post Office with BE for NetWare on a NW6.5 SP6 server?

Thanks

Bill

Two possibilities:

1) Use TSAFS in conjunction with BE Open File Option or St.Bernard OFM.

2) Use TSAFS in conjunction with TSAFSGW.

#1 is easy, but costs more for the OFO or OFM. #2 works, but requires
more setup work, similar to the old GWTSA.

-Barry.

Let me add this: can you use both OFM and TSAFSGW at the same time???

Thanks,

Eric

You can, if your server can handle it and you are satisfied with the backup
times. Had a recent discussion on this with Veritas and in our case the
server was abending because of the stress caused by the use of three open
file technologies at the same time. We turned off OFM and stuck with the
native Novell APIs TSAFS and GWTSA

Sorry to be late in replying. The answer is yes, but why would you
want to. That's sort of like caching a cache. Doesn't help.
