Andy,

First, thank you for the clarification.
Now, if I could ask for just a little bit more...   ;)

Will the Web Backup-Archive Client for Novell NetWare allow an end-user to
restore just their own files?  To do this, I would guess that client would
have to understand access rights as defined in the NDS for this user
(similar to the way the Unix ADSM client understands a non-privileged
user's access rights to files on a Unix system).  Or -- will the new client
only allow an administrator to restore any file onto a NetWare server?

We have users on campus here who would very much like to do the former, and
are looking at alternative solutions that will allow them to do so.  This
is a *big thing* for them.  I'd like to be able to tell them that ADSM will
provide what they need.

Thanks for your help.

..Paul
