For display during browsing for restores. Netbackup stores all the
namespaces that netware has dos, long and mac in its database. The only
thing I try to do is when I have a volume with mac data on it I set its
target to be mac not long. Just seems to work better that way.

Even though I was told that the namespace selection during target
configuration was for display purposes only?  Maybe that's not the
case....

And what about the other data in the volume?  This volume contains all
kinds of data; novell, windows, and mac.  Will selecting mac namespace
for this entire volume affect the other data as far as backups and
restores?

Thanks.
