I am a little confused when you mentioned the GUI on a NetWare 4.x client,
when the NetWare client doesn't have a GUI.

The one thing to remember here is that you cannot restore a file backed up on
a NetWare client to any other platform - I think you were trying to restore to
an NT client.

I have a fairly serious and urgent problem.
All suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have been backing up a particular Netware 4.x server
for several weeks (the logs show that many files are
in fact being backed up).  Even the dsmaccnt.log file shows
what I believe are accurate times and volumes of data.
The error log even shows some errors on open files.

The problem I have is that I cannot seem to restore ANY
file to this server.  In the GUI under nodes and "show
storage" usage I see a big 0.  I have checked other
Netware servers, and in under "show storage" I can see
values other than 0.

But to the contrary, I have log files that show files
being backed up, and I even dumped a complete listing
of all files in the backuppool, and the file I require
is listed.  When I issue a "que filespace ism-notes1 f=d"
I also see all of the volumes listed, with the last
backup start/end times being yesterday.

If I try to restore from another node and platform using
the FROMNODE option (NT gui), I do not even see any
indication that a single file has been backed up.

How can I restore files if ADSM has them, but
will not show that the volumes have been backed up?

The server platform is AIX 4.1  The client is Netware 4.x

Help!
