Rikk,

Are you observing this behavior?  When NetWare is restoring files which do
not have a supporting directory structure, a temporary directory entry
(i.e., no trustee information) is created by Novell's backup API; when the
directory entries do come from the server at a later time they are
restored over the  temporary directory entry; the end result is that the
files and directories are restored fully and correctly regardless of their
ordering from the server.  If you are not seeing this behavior, I would
suggest talking to the service organization.

Thanks,
Jim

We currently backup 12 Netware servers nightly, I also now need to backup
the directory structure as a seperate backup job.
The reason for this is that in a DR when you do a complete restore of a
Netware server if TSM attempts to restore a file before the dir for it has
been restored it skips the file, so the idea is to backup the dir's
seperatly then come DR to restore all the dir's then do a normal restore
over it.
What I need to know is how would I got about backing up just dirs to a
seperate pool?

Thanks in advance.
