Yes, you can backup the NDS, but it is not backed up by default!
Look in manual uder DOMAIN statement, you have to explicitly
specify it.

Then look at file Ntwback.htm loaded with yoyu Netware client
install under ...Tivoli/Tsm/Client     directory.
If you have objects spread out over several machines, then I would
do the NDS backup from the machien with least data/least busy.
The backup of NDS "walks" the tree and gets from all machines.

NOTE: License objects cannot be backed up!  There is expalnation
in documentation.

Haven't tried a restore yet.

I've been asked by our NDS expert, if TSM backs up the netware hidden 
directory.  

Apparently it doesn't as I've watched TSM backup the NDS and it backups the 
individual NDS objects.

Has anyone had to do a complete restore of a netware box, including NDS?

Did it work, what steps did you take as the backup/archive manual for netware 
is lacking this kind of information
