Reload Getting Started

Overview
Reload is a disaster recovery, hot backup, and quick restore system for Novell GroupWise. Reload integrates with GroupWise post offices and domains on NetWare, Linux and Windows to provide reliable backups. All the mail in those backups can then be examined using any Novell GroupWise client. Reload backs up post offices and domains from GroupWise 8 or greater.
Introduction
Reload is a Disaster and Recovery solution for GroupWise mail systems that provides live backups and recovery for GroupWise post offices and domains. In the event of a disaster where the post office or domain is unusable or lost, Reload can provide a temporary post office and domain for the GroupWise system to run off of, making messages flow seamlessly, even in a crisis.
Reload performs this function by creating backup copies of the post office and domain databases, which it then can load with GroupWise agents. Reload also can load post office agents against any post office backup, allowing users to transparently restore deleted or lost mail to the live post office, directly from the user's GroupWise client. With Reload, losing mail in a system is no longer a crisis, and in most cases, not even an inconvenience.
Multiple Reload servers can also be tied together to add multiple redundant layers of protection for complete offsite backups of the GroupWise message system.
Reload only runs on the Linux platform and requires that one setting in GroupWise Administration be enabled, as well as on the host machine for both the GroupWise system and the Reload Server. Reload does not require eDirectory, Active Directory or any TSA components.
Setting-up Reload can seem to be an intimidating process, but this guide will walk you through the process. There also is online documentation, an extensive knowledgebase, full support, and consulting services available to aid you in customizing and perfecting your Reload system.
Reload backs up GroupWise post offices and domains according to profiles that the administrator specifies, which tells Reload what to backup, where it is located, and where to store the data. The Profile can also keep track of disk space and when to expire the backups it creates. After the initial backup, each successive backup takes an average of 12% the full size of the live post office, also saving network and disk resources.
