Hi folks, There are two maners to mount Novel Netware Volumes on Linux. The first one is using a NCPFS protocol (you will find some tutorials on google), and will use the command "ncpmount" (plus arguments) to mount the Netware volumes. However, the NCPFS protocol is oldfashioned and slow.... It should be only used into a Lan. The second and best maner to do Netware backups on Linux, consists in "export" the Netware volumes. To do that you will need to install on the Netware Server the add-on: NFS for Unix (Native Filesystem Support for Unix). After that, you will need to do some configurations on the ConsoleOne, in order to export the volumes. After all, you can just mount the volumes using a simple "mount" (plus arguments) on Linux. You may set run before / run after job scripts, to mount / umount the Netware Volumes. Just one consideration: Bacula doesn´t do the backup of the "TRUSTEES" (Novell files rights, permissions, ownership....), so.... 1. If you have to restore a entire server, there is no problem, because the TRUSTEES will be recovered since you restore the SYS volume. 2. If you have to restore just a few files, you will need to do a trustee "dump", on regular bases, in order to make the trustees restoration easy. There is a Netware command "tustees" (plus arguments), which can be startarted by the "cron", on the Netware Server.
