Restoring Novell Netware Filesystems

Restoring Novell Netware Filesystems

Use the standard restore procedure to restore Novell NetWare filesystems. Refer to “Standard Restore Procedure” on page 269.

Restoring Namespace Information and Volume Space Restrictions

To restore only volume space restrictions, specify the Volume space restrictions only restore option in the Destination page. The object selected for the restore must be a volume.

Data Protector restores Novell NetWare volume namespace information during a regular filesystem restore session. Namespace information is restored on a per-file/directory basis for the following Name Spaces: DOS, Mac, NFS, OS/2.

To restore files or directories, note the following:

•Backed up namespace information will be successfully restored only if the same Name Spaces are installed on the volume where you are attempting to restore the data.

•DOS namespace exists on each installed Novell NetWare volume and is always restored.

•A Mac's resource fork can only be restored to a volume that has the Mac namespace installed.

•Specific namespace information depends on the existence of NDS objects, such as user and group IDs in NFS namespace.

•After restoring the Queue objects, manually create a queue directory in the SYS:SYSTEM directory with the proper name <queue_ID>.qdr. Use the appropriate utility (NWADMIN.EXE or SYSCON.EXE) to retrieve the <queue_ID>.qdr from the NDS.

•NSS volumes on Novell NetWare 5.0 or later support files larger than 4 GB. You cannot restore any of these large Novell NetWare files to non-NetWare platforms.

•You cannot restore Novell NetWare sparse files that have been backed up in their native compressed format to non-NetWare platforms.
