From: Bernard Rosenbloom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >We use TSM v5 to back up Novell netware5 file servers and TSM v5/4.2 to back up Novell netware 4 file servers. We want to restore the data (using TSM) to Windows 2000 file servers.. We won't be restoring applications,O/S or executables from Novell to windows only folders and files. Restoring file permissions is not mandatory but would be nice. I'm familiar with restoring files saved on one client to another client but it's always been the same hardware platform. Anyone have experience restoring novell files to W2K servers? <
As has been discussed many times in this mailing list (and is going into the monthly FAQ for November) you *cannot* restore files backed up from one type of operating system and restore it to a machine running a different operating system. The files are built with entirely different file structures. (Exception--you can restore Windows NTFS-based files to another machine running another type of Windows using an NTFS filesystem.) Not going to happen. You're either going to have to copy the files directly. A pain? Yes. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
