Hi, Andy, if one was has used SET PASSEXP and PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE, the change the password is known would be limited. This will make both Method 2 and Method 3 not usable.
Method 3 is a pain. One should not want to use that. Method 2 is work well, if you have an admin account on the ITSM server. Then, in stead of finding the nodes password, you simply will use your admin account and password. Method 1 should be used with caution. It gives nodes access to each other data. For workstations and in a small company it seems usable, in larger set ups and set ups with mostly server type clients, I would recommend Method 2. Just my thoughts on this subject.

Yes. To allow NODE2 to restore files backed up by NODE1: Method 1: On NODE1's machine, use the "dsmc set access" command (equivalent function available in the GUI via the "Utilities/Node Access List..." menu item) to allow NODE2 to access the desired files backed up by NODE1. Then NODE2 and use the -FROMNODE=NODE1 option to access NODE1's files (equivalent function available via in the GUI via the "Utilities/Access Another Node..." menu item). Method 2: If you know NODE1's password, then NODE2 can start dsm or dsmc with the -VIRTUALNODENAME=NODE1 option to access NODE1's data. Method 3 (*** NOT RECOMMENDED ***): If you know NODE1's password, then NODE2 can start dsm or dsmc with the -NODENAME=NODE1 option to access NODE1's data. However, if NODE2 uses the PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE option, then this will cause NODE1's password to be encrypted and stored on NODE2's machine, allow future access to NODE1's data without requiring the password. This is undesirable, so use Method 2 instead, which does not result in NODE1's password being stored on NODE2's machine. > Also Is it possible to restore a file on a Novell box to a Windows Box? > I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. If you are asking, "Can I use the NetWare client to back up NetWare files, then use the Windows client to restore those files?" then the answer is "No". You must use the NetWare client to restore files backed up by the NetWare client, and you must use the Windows client to restore files backed up by the Windows client. Likewise you can not use the Unix clients to restore data backed up by the Windows or NetWare clients, and you can not use the NetWare or Windows clients to restore files backed up by the Unix clients.
