I'm not sure if this was the original question. All of the version
2 Intel clients with the exception of Netware fully support doing
cross platform restore.

This means that data backed up by an OS/2 client (regardless of
file system type) can be restored by a 16-Bit or 32-Bit Windows
client.

Of course we only support restoring the file attributes the are
common among platforms, such as standard attribute bits (r/o, archive,
hidden, system, etc), file date/time, and filename casing where the
target platform supports it.

We also will do straight 8.3 file truncation on long filenames if
the target platform doesn't support > 8.3 filenames.

Obviously platform specific attributes such as HPFS EA's or ACL's
cannot be restored to foreign platforms.

Hope this answers your question ....
