TSM backs up rights and IRFs only at a directory level, not a file level. You may
want to have your user create a file structure that adheres to this, create a
directory, administer the rights to that directory and place the file in that
directory. Moving forward, you will want to consider this when designing your NDS
file structure.

Subject: Re: Netware restore problem
Is he backing up from his workstation? If so, all the client sees is a mapped
drive. As far as I know, the file sytem rights of the client platform are
backed up. The TSM client (Windows, I assume) knows nothing about the Novell
trustee rights - except that he can see the files. He thinks he's backing up a
local Windows drive.
IMHO he should not be backing up mapped drives from a workstation. If your
operation is as ours that would be redundant. We do incrementals of our servers
(from the server) every night and all files are backed up with complete trustee
information. If we restore them from the server all the rights will appear the
next time he logs in his workstation.
