Server Specific Information is backed up separately as a part of

 

CONFIGURATION mount point.

 

After backing up each file, the file’s archive flag is cleared and the

 

archive time is set.

 

The Novell NetWare filesystem provides file compression transparently

 

to NLMs and clients. By default, Data Protector backs up and

 

consequently restores such files in their compressed format. Thus, they

 

will be restored to Novell NetWare platforms. To restore Novell NetWare

 

compressed files to non-Novell NetWare platforms, use the Uncompress

 

NetWare compressed files option at a backup time.

What Is Not

Files that are opened for shared access with the Denied read option

Backed Up?

enabled cannot be backed up by Data Protector. You can set the Number

 

of retries option to increase the probability of the file being backed up.

 

This option is only useful if the applications operate in such a mode that

 

they use a certain file and then release it after a certain time.

 

• System files that are in Queue directories are not backed up.

 

• All files that belong to NDS are skipped. You can back up NDS

 

 

separately.

 

• Extended attributes (which can be installed as a NetWare addition)

 

 

are not backed up.
