External Mail - Backing up the Gateway
If you are using an External Gateway, information in the E-Mail POP3 Server, E-Mail Alias and E-Mail SMTP Server registers is stored in the database on the Gateway machine, not on the main server. This means the Gateway must be backed up separately.
If the Gateway has not been backed up before, a second Company must be created, to be used for backing up only. Follow these steps:
- Select 'Company' from the File menu. The 'Select Company' window appears. Select 'Open Company Register' from the Operations menu.
- The 'Companies: Inspect' window appears. On the second row, enter a new Company. This should be a local Company, so leave the TCP/IP and Port fields blank.
- Save the new Company by clicking the [Save] button in the Button Bar. For security reasons, Hansa quits automatically. Restart Hansa, and choose to use the new, second, Company. You might wish to enter a single record in the Person register with a password, again for security reasons.
If the Gateway has been backed up before and the second Company already exists, you must change from the Gateway Company to the second Company before backing up. Gateway information will not be included in any back-up made from the main Gateway Company. Follow these steps:
- If the Gateway is running, quit Hansa.
- Restart Hansa and choose to use the second Company. You cannot change Companies using the 'Company' function on the File menu because the two Companies are on different machines.
In both cases, you can now back up the Gateway machine. This is done in the usual way, by using the
'Database Text Backup' Export function in the System module. E-Mail POP3 Server, E-Mail Alias and E-Mail SMTP Server information is stored at the database level, not the Company level, so do not use the 'Company Text Backup' Export function.
