Hi Miles,

a)
 the TSA-Modules need a user and password to connect to the NDS
and the System you want to backup (local or remote), just like a client
login.
For backup this user must have read rights to all files you want to backup.
Password expiration for the Netware-User should be disabled.
b)
The command "dsmc sel DIR/* -subdir=yes" will backup the NDS.
Some NDS-Objects (e.g. Printer-Objects, Aliases etc.) have referrences to
other objects.
In case of a restore of such an object the NDS will create a dummy entry
for the referenced
objects if they don�t exist. You have to restore the referenced objects as
well with the option
"-replace=yes" to overwrite the dummy entries.
c)
IMO: no
d)
Hope you will get an answer from someone else.

Greetings
Jan Moewe

Hi folks,

I currently administer an AIX TSM server and clients, now I need to backup
Novell servers. I would appreciate some help with some general questions:

-Novell seems to need a user and password to run the scheduler as, what do
people use?
-How do I backup up NDS?
-Any special excludes?
-What's the best way to handle nodes when they are in a cluster?

Any other gottcha's? I did fix the TSA.

Thanks Miles
