Gail,

     I've never experienced this - but I've been warned about it.  From
what I'm told,
if the backup session can be stopped with a CNTL+Q (without unloading the
NLM), you'll
be okay.  If not - then the session should be cancelled by the server admin
to avoid
crashing the Netware server.

                         Ginny

Subject:  Stopping Backup/Archive Netware




We have clients installed in our netware 4x environment.  My user started a
backup on the netware client from the command line - load dsmc -i -
He tried to stop the backups in the middle -- he ended up doing an unload
dsmc and the server crashed.
Has anyone run into this -- does anyone know how to stop backups on netware
clients without bringing down the scheduler?  I unable to locate it in the
documentation?
Thanks, Gail
