Hi,

>>> I need to backup a Netware 6.0 SP3 server with eDirectory (NDS +
LDAP).
Do I need to code anything special in the DSM.OPT / INCLUDE or is this
an
automatic thing ?  If it is automatic, how can I tell ?  Is it part of
the
"server specific" stuff ? <<<

you have two requirements to backup eDirectory:

 - load TSANDS.NLM before loading DSMC.NLM or DSMCAD.NLM
 - specify the domain "NDS:"

I recommend using the Netware-Server that holds all master-replicas of
your NDS tree. Second it's useful to configure a separate job for this
task.


>>> Also plan to do a test recovery of this server to another box, to
test
the restore aspect, including the NDS/eDirectory piece. <<<

This test server shouldn't be connected to your production network,
otherwise you'll get a lot of synchronization problems within your
NDS-tree. In a real-time scenario you have to recreate your new and
empty NDS-tree before you can proceed with a full-restore of NDS on your
server, which is holding all your master-replicas.

For further informations regarding restoring NDS you should read the
many TIDs you can find on http://support.novell.com.
