the back room tech

I performed a Groupwise 6.5 to 7.0.3 upgrade this weekend on the domain and post office servers, and wrote a quick script to backup the agent configuration files.  It’s not a pretty script, but I wrote it in about 10 minutes and it worked on all my Netware servers.  I call this script part I since it only deals with files affected by my upgrade, which are all located on the sys volume.  I upgrade the gateways in two weeks, so I’ll backup the configuration files in the domain directories then.

You need to set SERVERNAME, SERVERVOL, BKUPLOC and BKUPDIR. If I’ve missed any files, please let me know and I’ll add them to the list.

REM replace SERVERNAME with the name of your Netware/Groupwise server
SET SERVERNAME=\\grpwise4
SET SYSVOL=sys
REM replace SERVERVOL with the name of the volume to write the backup files to
SET SERVERVOL=vol1
REM SERVERPATH is combination of server and volume name in \\server\vol\ format
SET SERVERPATH=%SERVERNAME%\%SERVERVOL%
REM SYSVOLPATH is combination of server and volume name in \\server\sys\ format

REM BKUPLOC is the directory to save backup files to
REM this script has no error checking, so the directory's existance will probably matter
SET BKUPLOC=gw65bkup
