Re: Backup and restore of NDS on Netware

This is a really good doc which comes with the install package of TSM for
netware.
It's located in the install directory of the client.

This is an old document which hasn't been updated since V3 but is still
very informative on
TSM and NetWare.

Hope this helps...

As we were preparing to move Netware clients from TSM 3.7 to 4.2.1.19, we
did a test on one machine.  In the process we had to modify the DOMAIN in
dsm.opt file.  Reading the Tivoli manual on Netware client it states that
NDS
is NOT backed up with DOMAIN All-Local.  We then specified NDS: in the
DOMAIN on this test case.  As we further investigated, we realized that we
haven't been backing up NDS!

We have a tree structure here,  different machines have access to different
parts of the NDS tree.  Also has replication to other machines.  We have
primarily Netware 5.1 and moving soon (maybe) to 6.0.  We have had a
couple of instances where we restored SYS: but never had to restore NDS.
It would seem we only have to backup NDS on certain servers, not all.

Has someone some experience in this area?  Can you reference a document
that covers this specifically?

Thanks,
David Longo
