Introduction

The OES File System iDataAgent is a backup and restore vehicle for NSS file system data (i.e., files and directories) residing on OES computer systems. This File System iDataAgent is just one of several iDataAgents that provide backup and restore support for different kinds of data in what is often a heterogeneous network environment.


Supported Data Types

To secure a GroupWise database, you may use the Novell GroupWise iDataAgent, NetWare File System iDataAgent, or the OES File System iDataAgent, depending on your environment. Any other agent (e.g., Windows File System iDataAgent) cannot be used to secure a GroupWise database.

Note that to secure a GroupWise database using the NetWare File System iDataAgent or OES File System iDataAgent, Novell's TSAFS.NLM must be loaded with the EnableGW switch.
