Hi leonard, Charles, Mark...

The files fail during the restore, and it's not a case of it
terminating early and giving us a false positive.

User Quotas is a possibility -- users are limited to 10MB, so anyone
with more than 5MB could conceivably have their restore fail.  I'll
talk to the admin about temporarily lifting the limits.

The Netware box is fairly current (latest service pack), or so I've been told.

We'll try the test restore on a different machine...  As for the
space question, we restored less than 200MB, and had 12GB available
on the volume.

Thanks for your lightning-fast replies everyone.  =)

-JD.

I've got a system here running Novell Netware 5.1 SP6, with

TSA500.NLM at 5.0.5d, TSANDS.NLM at 10110.95, and SMDR at 6.50c,
using the web client at version 5.2.0.0 to manage a restore process
to an alternate directory.  Here's the catch:

About 75% (of 2000) of the files that we're attempting to restore
fail with an error that says that the file could not be written, with
no reason code.  The users still appear to exist, and the other 25%
of the files restore without an issue.<

Can you restore the troublesome files to another NetWare server? Do
those files all belong to one (or more) directories?

I don't have a NetWare box in front of me, but are you at the very
latest version of the TSA5UP patches? If you're not, try an upgrade.

And (the obvious question) do you have enough space in the volume
you're writing to?
