Considerations for TSA based GroupWise backups

TSA-based Novell NetWare clients support live backups of your GroupWise database for Novell NetWare versions 6.0 and later. A live backup means that your database does not have to be stopped and restarted for protection. To ensure a consistent state, the underlying TSAFS.NLM should be loaded with the GroupWise flag set to True.

To edit the GroupWise enabling flag

1        Edit the SYS:\SYSTEM\SMSSTART.NCF flag to read:

UNLOAD TSAFS.NLM

LOAD TSAFS.NLM \EnableGW=True

2        To determine the state of the EnableGW switch, type the following at the command line prompt:

TSAFS.NLM \EnableGW

3        The TSAFS.NLM has been loaded, thus ensuring a consistent state for your GroupWise databases.
