Hey NetWare users -
Several subscribers have voiced this blatant shortcoming recently and I
have not seen any response from IBM.
There is a serious and growing opposition to ADSM at our datacenter for
this very reason. Users are saying "If I can't restore a file, this
product is useless."
Let me know if this is not the right forum for this sort of issue, but I
believe a prompt response from IBM is in order.
