Hi
Wonder if anyone has any experience they may be able to share on this...

We are shortly moving our Netware data (on NSS volumes) to Windows.
All the data is currently backed up using Netware6.5 (on VM's) using the 
Networker client 7.2.1

We need to have some restore capability (just in case) for the next couple of 
years from these Netware NSS volume saves. Note, we're not concerned about file 
permissions being restored, we just may need the odd file back now and again.

First thoughts were to set up an old Netware6.5 VM with the Netware client 
installed - doable, but 
Then we thought it might be better if we used something a little more 'current' 
such as Netware OES (at least we could keep that up to date).  We tried this, 
but it seems we can't browse traditional Netware savesets with the Networker 
Linux client.
Has anyone ever managed this?  

I realise we're possibly in a minority of 1 regarding this query, but if anyone 
has any ideas of the best way forward with this, I'd like to hear them.
Otherwise it's build a traditional Netware6.5 server (and I'm not looking 
forward to that ;-)

Cheers... Allan.
