• EASY SOFTWARE DESIGN: No software (backup agents) are installed to the servers that house the GroupWise post offices or domains. The Reload server is all that you install. See the Reload Quick Tour for more detailed information. 

• SIMPLE UPGRADES: Upgrading the Reload server software is push-button easy. You can design the Reload server software to upgrade automatically.

• COMPLETE PLATFORM SUPPORT:  Reload backs up GroupWise post offices and domains on every platform that GroupWise runs on. The platforms are listed below:

        NetWare

        NetWare Clusters

        Linux

        Linux Clusters

        Windows

• COMPATIBILITY: GWAVA Reload backs up GroupWise 6.5, GroupWise 7 and GroupWise 8 post offices and domains. All versions of post offices and domains can be backed up to the same Reload server.

• MONITORING: GWAVA's Redline product integrates with Reload. Reload can notify through e-mail, when jobs are finished and/or have an error condition. Reload has a simple status page in which you can easily see the status of all Reload profiles, and the last backup taken for each profile.

• RETAIN INTEGRATION: Once GWAVA Retain is integrated into a GroupWise system, Reload data can be used as the place that Retain dredges the GroupWise message store. This makes management of the Retain dredging process simpler and scheduling times more flexible.

• REVEAL INTEGRATION: Once GWAVA Reveal is integrated into a GroupWise system, Reload data can be accessed via Reveal.

• SIMPLE INSTALL: Installing GWAVA Reload does not require any deep Linux expertise. The command to install GWAVA Reload, and all the dependency software that it requires is one command, that is documented in the GWAVA Reload documentation.

• MENU DRIVEN: Controlling processes such as the GWAVA Reload Daemon is both accessible from the GWAVA Reload Administration Menu, or from the command line. For those that are very familiar with Linux, the GWAVA Reload system is very configurable and controllable from a terminal session. However for those not familiar with Linux, they will be glad that the Reload system can be controlled from a menu-driven system, similar to the C-Worthy interface of NetWare.

• PROFILE CONFIGURATION WIZARD: Creating GWAVA Reload profiles is a simple wizard-driven process. Answer a few questions, and a Reload profile is created and ready to begin performing backups.

• ONE FEATURE TO ENABLE IN CONSOLEONE:  The only changes needed to the GroupWise system is to enable the SmartPurge feature in ConsoleOne for post offices being backed up with GroupWise. This is matter of taking off one checkmark.

• EFFICIENT SERVER USE: Each Reload server can be configured to back up as many as 20 post offices and 20 domains (Reload profiles). Limitations on disk space, and time to create a backup are the most likely limitation as to how many profiles can be created.

• ADMINISTRATIVE INTERFACE ACCESSIBILITY: The Reload Console Administration utility can be accessed through a variety of methods. What's particularly nice is that the Reload Administration is friendly to SSH sessions. There are SSH clients for every PC platform, but more particularly there are even SSH clients for devices such as mobile phones, and mobile PDA platforms. The GWAVA Reload server detects the size of the screen of the SSH client and for small devices, a simple littler interface comes up called Reload Mobile. The Reload Mobile interface uses only numbers to control menu choices, rather than numbers and letters. All that is needed to run Reload mobile is number keys, and an enter key of some sort.

• FLEXIBLE DISK CONFIGURATION: The GWAVA Reload server can easily be configured to back up data either to a local disk, a SAN, or NFS mount to a Linux or Unix server. Some Linux based NAS devices can also be used. For example the Buffalo Terastation Pro II.

• FLEXIBLE DISK CONFIGURATION: Different GWAVA Reload profiles can be configured to keep data in different locations. So for example PROFILE1 (Example Naming) can keep data on SAN1, PROFILE2 can be configured to keep data on SAN2, PROFILE3 can be configured to keep data on the local hard drive of the Linux server, and PROFILE4 can be configured to keep data on a Linux/Unix Mainframe that the Reload server is mounted to with an NFS mount.

• BACKUP CUSTOMIZATION: All Reload backup types support custom command execution when a job begins, job errors, and job ends.

• LOGGING: The Reload server creates logs specific to each profile, and a system wide logs. Logs are easily accessible through the Reload Web Administration interface and the Reload Terminal Administration interface.

• DOCUMENTATION: The Reload server hosts all of the Reload documentation. Reload has video documentation that is hosted right on the Reload server. Learning how to configure Reload is easy due to the video documentation.
