• When restoring a GroupWise database that is still running, it is recommended to restore it to an alternate location.
Restoring the entire GroupWise directory
• If you are rebuilding the GroupWise system to return the entire database to a previous state, it is acceptable to restore the database to the location of the running GroupWise database.
• When restoring the entire GroupWise directory, the following paths should not be restored: Message queues at DOMAIN level, at the Post Office level, and the TSA files. Restoring these paths may cause corruption of the entire GroupWise database and the Novell file system.
