Hi Netware ADSM Gurus, my Netware users are asking me difficult
questions.

I've read through the ADSM-L archives and want to make sure I've
understood the problems with long filenames under the ADSM client.

1) We cannot browse or restore by long filename
2) Discovering the mapping of long to 8.3 names is next to impossible
3) There are situations where restoring will not get the name translated
to its long equivalent (deleted files, rebuilds and so on)
4) There is no solution to this problem except to use a different backup
tool.

Can anyone confirm or deny this summary, perhaps even add to the list of
problems?

Regards
Alan
