Environment

GroupWise Mobile Server
Windows 2000 or 2003 Server

Situation

Backup the ASA database with included backup utility.

Resolution

Check the name of the ODBC source, this is the name of the ASA db on the server.
Click Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC) -> Select System DSN -> The ASA db should be listed here and the default name is IntellisyncSuite.

Go to the dobackup batch file (C:\Program Files\Intellisync Mobile Suite\DB\dobackup.exe), open this in wordpad and change the PylonAnywhere instances to the name of the ASA db (default: IntellisyncSuite) and then save.

This should allow you to successfully run and backup the db by running the dobackup batch file. Once the backup has run it will create a backup and log directory.
