I have not had the opportunity to play around with long file names under
NetWare, but I did have the privledge of sitting with one of our LAN
administrators one time when we was restoring files for a Win95 user that
resided on a NetWare machine,  The problem that he ran into (and got around)
was that when you view the files from NetWare, he couldn't see the whole name
just a shortened version.  What he did was do a RESTORE (file spec) -pick
-subdir=yes just to see what short names were being used.  I think the same
thing could be done with a Q BAckup command as well.  If you use Q backup
thing could be done with a Q BAckup command as well.  If you use Q backup
beware os the scrollprompt values.

At any rate, he used the output from these to determine exactly what the
naming structure was and then went from there to restore the files.

Jerry,

Here is my restore command:

res "cal002:/userdata/ca24526/app source/*" -rep=all -su=y

Connected to CALLAWAY2.

ANS4095E No files matching search criteria were found

Total number of objects restored:         0
Total number of bytes transferred:        0
Total failures:                           0
Elapsed processing time:            0:00:28

I have triple checked my spelling, and the "apps" directory right next
to it is backed up with no problem.  I am at 2.1.7 version of mvs server
and the Netware client is Version 2, Release 1, Level 0.6f.
The directory currently exists on the server.  Any clues?
