Proceed with caution. NetWare is *very* *picky* about volume formats.
You can't restore data from a compressed volume to an uncompressed (and
vice versa), and I don't think you can restore data from an NSS volume
to a non-NSS volume. (I think.) Cross-tree restores would make me very
nervous. It might be easier to restore the files to a machine within the
tree at 4.11, and use a Windows box with mapped drives to move the data
across.
