Jerry,
        Macros are supported on the Netware cliet - the command syntax is LOAD
DSMC MACRO macroname

For instance....

LOAD DSMC MACRO sys:\system\adsm\restore.mac

restore.mac would contain something like this....

Restore DATA:* -subdir=yes -volinfo
Restore APP:* -subdir=yes -volinfo

By the way, if you're restoring multiple Netware volumes on the same
server, this can be done concurrently thru multiple ADSM sessions.... in
many instances this will be faster than one volume at a time (depends on
the usual stuff - processor, NICs, memory, disk, etc.)
