12.0 About Third-Party Applications

Two of the most important categories of third-party applications are anti-virus software and backup software.

Anti-Virus Software

For a current list of antivirus software vendors that support Novell Open Enterprise Server, see Novell Open Enterprise Server Partner Support: Backup and Antivirus Support. This list is updated quarterly.

IMPORTANT:If you run server-based anti-virus software, configure it so that it does not scan GroupWise directory structures such as domains and post offices where file locking conflicts can create problems for the GroupWise agents. If you need virus scanning on GroupWise data, check the GroupWise Partner Products page for compatible products.

Backup Software

For a current list of backup software vendors that support Novell Open Enterprise Server, see Novell Open Enterprise Server Partner Support: Backup and Antivirus Support. This list is updated quarterly.
