How to restore email in GroupWise 2012 R2 Sp4

Be aware that because GroupWise stores attachments and such as single instance since it does dedup and compression that you have to pretty much restore the entire PO box which can be quite large. In my case, I was successful in grabbing the users FileID (//servername/GWDATA/poboxname/ofuser/userXYZ.db) and getting there mailbox file and restoring the GW domain database (wpdomain.db) and PO database (wphost.db), but I only got the index and could view the header information on the emails. I ended up having to restore more data from the ofmsg (//media/nss/GWDATA/poboxname/ofmsg/) folder, and the offiles (/media/nss/GWDATA/poboxname/offiles) folder.

If GW single instance storage of teh attachment will be in the "offiles" folder. IF it's unique will go to the "ofmsg" folder.

mkdir /media/nss/GWDATA/restore
chmod 755 restore

cp ofmsg -r /media/nss/GWDATA/restore to copy the entire folder to the restore folder that I created.
