Quick Restore

You can access a backup created by GWAVA Reload in about two minutes. Most other backup solutions will take you several hours or days. 

To restore a GroupWise item using Reload, a GroupWise user can choose “Restore Mode” or “Access Mode.” In Restore Mode when connected to the Reload server, use the File|Open Backup feature in the GroupWise client (7.0.1 or greater). With this feature, GroupWise will display only the items in the backed up mailbox that are not currently in the live mailbox. To restore an item, simply highlight the item(s) to be restored and select Action|Restore. In Access Mode, the system displays all message items in the backup. Using the Archive feature in GroupWise, you can then restore items to your mailbox, export address books, or access backed up documents from GroupWise Document Management. 

Accessing the GWAVA Reload server is as easy as pointing to any GroupWise client to the IP address and port or DNS name of the POA running on the GWAVA Reload server. No special client software is needed. Users do not need file system rights to use Reload. For example, when Reload is used as a Restore Area, users only need to know their current password, even if the user’s password was different at the time that the backup was taken. If you are running your GroupWise post office on a Linux platform, users don’t even need to connect to the Reload server. They simply select File|Open Backup while connected to their live post office. The POA for their live post office can access the hot backups on the Reload server. 

Reload’s “auto-reload” feature makes the most recent backup for a post office available for immediate client connections. By using this feature, the GroupWise administrator does not need to access the GWAVA Reload server and activate the most recent backup for client connections.

The data backed up on a GWAVA Reload server is kept in its native and extremely secure GroupWise format. Nothing is ported to a different database type.
