Restoring Novell Netware Filesystems
Chapter 6 287
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.
