Here's the exclude we use with a 3.1 and 3.7 client.

EXCLUDE          "nds:*License ID*"

Works for us.

What have you tried? Have a look at the end of the V5.1 manual, which

        Subject:        NDS Backup Question



We are experiencing a problem backing up the nds on our netware servers.
It is a known problem, novell claims it is working as designed, and
suggest that we exclude the license objects from the backup (see below). I
have tried several ways to exclude these objects but have not been
successful. Anyone know how to do it?

Thanks in advance,
Cory

Fact
Novell NetWare 5.1

Novell NetWare 5.0

NW5SP4.EXE

NW51SP3.EXE


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------

Symptom
Cannot backup license objects after applying NW5SP4.EXE.

Getting error when backing up licenses on NW4.X, during NDS backup:
"<license object> is a corrupted file".

Getting error backing up licenses on NW5.X during NDS backup: "<license
object> Insufficient rights".

Error E3125 Failed to read <Object Name> data set, fffdfe83 in ArcServe
log.

Same error with Backup Exec 8.5


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------

Cause
This type of error is the result of some changes in licensing which were
introduced with SP4/SP8 and SP3 for NW5.1. The new version of NLS is
masking out all rights to read the license objects. This will not allow
the licensing object to be backed up as designed.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------

Fix
When preforming a backup the licensing objects will need to be excluded.
Upon making a restore from a backup the licenses will need to be
reinstalled.
