NetWare Support

NetWare support provided by Backup Exec includes the capability to back up the NetWare 3.11-3.12 server bindery, and NetWare file and directory attributes from server volumes, including trustee information. Use the Back up Bindery... option to back up your Netware bindery files. See Advanced Tab for more information on this option.

All NetWare file attributes and trustee information is backed up, except MAC name space. When these files are restored to a NetWare volume, the extended information also restores. If the trustee information is not applicable to the restore location, it will not restore. An error message is posted to the log file if this occurs.

A network administrator on a NetWare 3.11-3.12 server can back up and restore the server bindery. The bindery is automatically selected for backup if any file from the SYS volume is selected and the bindery option in the Options dialog is also selected. Restore works similarly. If the Restore Bindery option is selected in the Options dialog, and any file on the SYS volume is selected for restore, you are prompted to restore the bindery.

Although NetWare Directory Services may appear in the selection panes, please be aware that their folder structures cannot be backed up or restored.
