Interesting. Guess it's time to upgrade!

Thanks -

        Chris,
        I've seen this behavior prior to availability of the levels of
server and
        client that supported long file names in Novell. It had to do with
        collisions in converting the file/directory name to the DOS 8.3
format and
        the order in which the files/directories were processed during the
restore.
        I was hoping that this would no longer be a problem now that long
file
        names are supposed to be fully supported.

        Subject:  I have a ( stupid) netware restore question


        Ok, I've done quite a few full Netware restores and I have noticed
that
        when
        I restore an entire volume, (the volume is empty when I start), I
get
        messages that state that the file already exists and it is skipping.
Now I
        don't mean the files that are created when the volume and name space
        support
        are installed. I'm talking data files several directories down. We
haven't
        noticed any problems with the restores but how can this happen?

        Anyone? Not worried, just perplexed as I stare at RCONSOLE. :- 0
