I've done Netware NDS restores. Netware 4.11, anyway. It's possible, it can be done, but if you have any NDS replica left on your network anywhere, it's much easier to just promote it to master, let everything synchronize, and then move the master again.
Just my opinion, YMMV. -----Original Message----- From: Remeta, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 3:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Netware - NDS - Restoring NDS in case of extreme loss HAHA!

Look in manual uder DOMAIN statement, you have to explicitly specify it. Then look at file Ntwback.htm loaded with yoyu Netware client install under ...Tivoli/Tsm/Client directory. If you have objects spread out over several machines, then I would do the NDS backup from the machien with least data/least busy. The backup of NDS "walks" the tree and gets from all machines. NOTE: License objects cannot be backed up! There is expalnation in documentation. Haven't tried a restore yet. David B.

Apparently it doesn't as I've watched TSM backup the NDS and it backups the individual NDS objects. Has anyone had to do a complete restore of a netware box, including NDS? Did it work, what steps did you take as the backup/archive manual for netware is lacking this kind of information "MMS <health-first.org>" made the following annotations on 05/02/02 16:16:14 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- This message is for the named person's use only.
