Easy to Use Design and Compatibility

No software (backup agents) are installed to the servers that house the GroupWise post offices or domains. It's server is all that you install. See the Quick Tour for more detailed information.  

Upgrading it's server software is push-button easy. You can configure it's server software to upgrade automatically. 

This GWAVA's product backs up GroupWise 6.5, GroupWise 7 and GroupWise 8 post offices and domains. All versions of post offices and domains can be backed up to the same server.

The GWAVA Redline product integrates with this product. It sends email notifications through e-mail when jobs are finished or have errors. It displays the status of all it's profiles and the last backup taken for each profile all on one page. 

By integrating GWAVA Retain, you can use it's data to dredge the GroupWise message store for system archiving. The two products work together to make archive management simpler and keep scheduling times more flexible. 

It's data can be accessed via Reveal.

Installing This GWAVA's product  does not require expertise in Linux. There is one simple command for installation which is explained in this GWAVA's product documentation.

You can control processes such as this GWAVA's product Daemon from either this GWAVA's product Administration Menu or the command line. This product system is configurable and controllable from a terminal session. You can also use the menu-driven interface.

Creating GWAVA Reload profiles is a simple wizard-driven process. Answer a few questions, and a Reload profile is created and ready to begin performing backups. 

The only change needed to the GroupWise system is to enable the SmartPurge feature in ConsoleOne for post offices being backed up with GroupWise. Simply uncheck the applicable box. 

Each Reload server can be configured to back up as many as 20 post offices and 20 domains (Reload profiles). Disk space and time to create a backup are the usual limitation as to how many profiles can be created. 

The Reload Console Administration utility can be accessed through a variety of methods, including a web interface. Reload also has a special mobile interface which lets you administer Reload from your mobile phone or PDA. 

The GWAVA Reload server can easily be configured to back up data either to a local disk, a SAN, or NFS mount to a Linux or Unix server. Some Linux-based NAS devices can also be used. Different GWAVA Reload profiles can be configured to keep data in different locations.

For example, you could set one profile to keep data on SAN1; another profile on SAN2; another on the local hard drive of the Linux server; and a final profile to keep data on a Linux/Unix mainframe that the Reload server is mounted to with an NFS mount.

All Reload backup types support custom command execution when a job begins and ends.

Reload can discover if a job that has failed and needs to be restarted. Improved job recovery means that if a job is failing, it will either restart or stop completely so that other jobs can be processed.

The Reload server creates logs specific to each profile as well as system-wide logs. Logs are easily accessible through the Reload Web Administration interface and the Reload Terminal Administration interface. 

The Reload server hosts all of the Reload documentation. Reload has both in-line and video documentation which helps you learn how to configure and optimize your Reload system.
