Gayle,

We too are using the AS/400 with a 3570 drive for ADSM server along
with Netware.  We have found it MUCH easier to backup the Netware
servers using the Netware client vs. backing up the network drives on a
Win/95 PC.

If you have any specific question you can call me at the number below.

Regards,

We are using the Windows GUI ADSM (IBM\ADSM\baclient\dsm.exe) to
backup a Novell
Network onto an AS400 3570 drive.  We have 7 volumes of various
sizes on our
Novell Server.  We started a complete backup on Monday.  After 3 hours
we only
had about 1.52 gb backed up and the server quit.  The next day we
chose all
volumes but vol 7 and started a backup again.  After about 7 hours we
only had
about 4.0 gb backed up.  Is this a typical time scenario for doing a
complete
backup?  Every night we do an AS400 backup onto the 3570 drive.  Is it
possible
to do the AS400 backup and an ADSM backup as automatic unattended?
We are
accessing the ADSM server via a Windows95 ADSM client which then
can access the
Novell Drives.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Gayle Hofmann
