10.4 Planning the Location of the Domain Database Backup Directories

Because the domain database is critical to the performance of GroupWise, you should always create a backup copy of the domain databases you will be manipulating. This ensures that an original version of each database is available should you make a mistake, or if any problems should arise during the merge process. You can always return to the former configurations while you correct any problems encountered.

WORKSHEET

Under Item 15: Paths to Site #1 wpdomain.dbs, enter paths to the Site #1 wpdomain.db files.

Under Item 6: Paths to Site #2 wpdomain.dbs, enter paths to the Site #2 wpdomain.db files.

Under Item 24: Paths to Site #1 Backup Directories, enter the path to the backup directory you will create to hold the backup copy of the Site #1 domain database.

Under Item 25: Paths to Site #2 Backup Directories, enter the path to each backup directory you will create to hold the backup copy of a Site #2 domain database. Every domain database has the same name, so plan to either temporarily rename the database copies or to create separate directories for them.
