1.0 Introduction to GroupWise Disaster Recovery

GroupWise Disaster Recovery provides live, hot backup and restore for OpenText GroupWise. GroupWise Disaster Recovery integrates with GroupWise post offices and domains to provide reliable backups. In the event of a disaster where the post office or domain is unusable or lost, GroupWise Disaster Recovery can provide a temporary post office and domain for the GroupWise system to run off of, making messages flow seamlessly, even in a crisis.

GroupWise Disaster Recovery performs this function by creating backup copies of the post office and domain databases, which it then can load with GroupWise agents. GroupWise Disaster Recovery 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 GroupWise Disaster Recovery, losing mail in a system is no longer a crisis, and in most cases, not even an inconvenience.

Multiple GroupWise Disaster Recovery servers can also be tied together to add multiple redundant layers of protection for complete off-site backups of GroupWise.
