Hi David,
Thanks for the reply. I just tested this setting, and it didn't seem to
make any difference. Here are the steps I took:
Compression is turned ON in the volume properties in the Netware Box
I set the NW_Uncompress = yes in the NetBackup Netware Client, and
restarted the client. Next, I backed up some test data (about 350MB
worth) to a disk volume. Then, I setup a restore to my local XP
workstation (which I normally do restores to without issues). When the
restore started, here are the messages:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's still giving the "WIN32 13: The data is invalid."
Are you sure there was nothing else? I am running Windows XP on my
workstation, perhaps there is something there? Also, we have Netware
5.1...was it 5.1 that you were working with? In case you are wondering,
this is a default install of NBU on the Netware client, and we've not
changed any buffer settings on the master server or anywhere else. All
other types of restores work, as do restores from Netware to Linux.
Thanks,

Two possibilities.
One, which shouldn't affect the restore but will make the file
unusable is that be default if you have a novell drive that is set to
be compressed the compressed files will be backed up as such and when
restored will be unusable except on a compressed novell drive.
To fix this:
Starting with NetBackup 3.4 there is a Parameter NW_Uncompress in the
file SYS:OPENV\NETBACK\BP.INI on the NetBackup Netware Client.
Setting this parameter to YES will uncompress the Novell compressed
files before they are written onto tape (backed up) and the data can
be restored to any Netware volume, regardless if Novell Volume
Compression is enabled or not.
The other one is that your buffer sizes are set differently on your
windows client and your novell client. This is bad as all your
buffer size settings should be the same between the media servers and
clients. Check that if you have changed the network buffer size on
any of your Netbackup systems that you have reflected that on all
your Netbackup systems.
I do know you can do this, I have restored Novell data to Solaris and
Windows 2000 disks with no issues (except the first one above).
Good luck!
