This may be "works as designed".

Are your W2K filespaces enabled for Unicode? That is, if you do a QUERY
FILESPACE w2knodename, does the "Is Filespace Unicode?" field say "Yes"?
If so, then it is true that you will not be able to restore the data with
the non-unicode (Win9x) client.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.

Hi. We are unable to restore data from a W2K node to a W98 node. Clients
are current code levels, server is also current. Set access is all done
properly because we can do a cross-client restore W2K --> W2K. Cross-
client within a family of platforms (i.e. all Windows and OS/2) used to be
supported. I can still use my 4.2.1.20 client on W2K to restore some
antique OS/2 files, but the W98 client GUI won't even expand the directory
tree when attempting to restore from a W2K node. Does anyone know if this
is a bug and that an incident should be opened or is this a new "works as
designed" function/restriction?
