About Replacing a Document with a File from Backup

You can replace a document in the with a file you've restored from a backup system or with any other file. This is useful if documents have become corrupt through machine failures, network problems, and so on. To do this, you must be a librarian in the GroupWise® Library where the document is found, or you must be a librarian in any GroupWise® Library and have Edit rights to the document.

If a file needs to be restored from a backup system and you are uncertain which one to restore, you can see a list of all the filenames that have ever been assigned to that document version. To restore a file from a backup, follow the directions for your standard backup software. Then you can replace the corrupt document with the restored file in GroupWise using Replace Document with Backup.

You can use this feature in Remote mode only if the document has been downloaded and marked In Use.
