Hello,

baclup/restore works fine. You only have to find out which short name
correspond to which long name. For that:

map the netware volume in Win95 Explorer and then open a DOS window to
do cd xxxx as many times as needed, then do "dir yyy" to list the files or
the directories. You get both 8.3 and long names displayed.

N.B. the full long names will be supported in adsm in a next release due
I/99.
