Re: Novell backup performance
2005-09-16 10:27:41
Kurt,
I sent this information off to our Netware admin as a possible fix for
some issues we're having, and she cannot even locate the setting. I tried
a Google search with no luck, and a search of Novell's website didn't
return anything to me. I'm not a Netware person at all so I have no idea
what to even suggest to her. The systems in question are on Netware
6.5--do you know if the option still exists there, and if so, how I can
guide her to it?
Thanks much!
Kathleen
