Hi Christo,

I'm glad that  this is working for you now.

As to whether it is documented clearly... I guess it may depend on how you
define "clear".     &-)

The DOMAIN section in the "Using the Novell NetWare Backup-Archive Client" says
that the default domain is all local volumes and the bindery. So it is
documented, sort of, by omission.

There is also a file you should look at on the second ADSM V2 NetWare client
diskette. The file name is \DOC\ADSMDOC.EXE. This is a self-extracting
executable that extracts several files, including NTWBACK.TXT. This document,
written by one of our developers, provides more in-depth information on using
ADSM to back up NetWare, especially the NDS. In that document, section 3.2.2
"Specifying the Entire NDS for Backup" has a note:

"Note:   The NDS is not included in  DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL ; you must explicitly
code  DIRECTORY  in the  DOMAIN  option or use one of the backup commands
listed above to backup the NDS."

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the reply, I tried it and it worked like a dream.
Is this supposed to be documented clearly anywhere?
Anyhow, thanks also to Jerry and Bill for the response...

The Bindery in NetWare 3.1x is part of the default domain because it is
specific to that machine. The NDS is not machine-specific, so it is not
considered part of the local domain.

You need to have a DOMAIN statement that includes the NDS, i.e.:

DOMAIN DIRECTORY SYS:

or

DOMAIN DIRECTORY ALL-LOCAL

etc.
