Louis,

The use of DIRMC is no longer advised for Novell.  It's use breaks some
major performance improvements made in the *SM server.  It was initially
recommended ages ago as a work around for a bug that has long since been
fixed.

Subject:  Backing Up Novell Directory Structure


I have just been made aware that I should be backing up the directory
structure for my Novell servers separately and I have few questions.  I
have reviewed the documentation about the dirmc option.

Is there some way to calculate the size of the storage pool I should use
for this management class?  I have no idea how large to make it.  I don't
plan to define a next pool because I want it to stay on disk.

Also, how is this affected by previous backups that have been run without
the dirmc option?  Will a new incremental backup with the option backup the
entire structure to the new storage pool or will some of it still be
retained with the previous backups.

Is there somewhere besides the Admin Guide, Admin Reference, and Novell
client manuals that I can find more documentation on this?

Thanks for any help.
