Chris,
I've seen this behavior prior to availability of the levels of server and
client that supported long file names in Novell. It had to do with
collisions in converting the file/directory name to the DOS 8.3 format and
the order in which the files/directories were processed during the restore.
I was hoping that this would no longer be a problem now that long file
names are supposed to be fully supported.

Subject:  I have a ( stupid) netware restore question


Ok, I've done quite a few full Netware restores and I have noticed that
when
I restore an entire volume, (the volume is empty when I start), I get
messages that state that the file already exists and it is skipping. Now I
don't mean the files that are created when the volume and name space
support
are installed. I'm talking data files several directories down. We haven't
noticed any problems with the restores but how can this happen?

Anyone? Not worried, just perplexed as I stare at RCONSOLE. :- 0


CR
