Situation
8209 Errors occur on the GroupWise client and POA when trying to
restore via the GroupWise client from backup. The Restore
Area directory structure is located on a remote server from the
post office. An 8.3 naming convention is not used for the
Restore Area directory structure.
Resolution
Define the Restore Area for backup on the same server as the POA so
that the POA does not have to cross the network to get to the
Restore Area files. This can easily be done by adding a GroupWise
POA to the server that is holding the restore directory structure
even though it may be a remote server from the Post Office
Agent. If the Agent is remote, a /home (with a full UNC path
to the remote Post Office directory structure) and /user and
/password (that has fie system rights to the Post Office directory
structure) can be used to allow the remote POA to cross the network
to load up against the remote Post Office directory structure while
still having local NLM access to the Post Office Restore Area
directory structure.
Lastly, the directory structure containing the restore area directory structure must comply with the 8.3 naming standards so that no directory name is longer then 8 characters.
