10.0 Connect to GroupWise Disaster Recovery

GroupWise Forensics (GWF) can connect to a GroupWise Disaster Recovery (GWDR) system to browse a backup of the live system instead of the live post office. This can be used to browse the mail in a backup either to view deleted items, or to relieve the pressure on the live system.

To connect to a GWDR system, select the Connect to GWDR button from the toolbar.

GroupWise Forensics will open a window listing the post offices in your system.

To connect to the GWDR system, the address and port of the archive must be specified.

NOTE:The Access Mode POA must be active on the GWDR server before GWF can connect.

Specify the connection information and select OK.

While GroupWise Forensics is connected to a GWDR system, the Connect to GWDR button on the toolbar will be highlighted.

To disconnect from the GWDR backup and return to the live system, click on the highlighted Connect to GWDR button to switch the GWDR connection off.

NOTE:To access the GWDR post office backup, the GroupWise Forensics Trusted Application Key must exist in the backup; GroupWise Forensics cannot access GWDR backups before the Trusted Application key was created.
