I would look to see if you are trying to restore compressed files to a
volume that doesn't support compression. If, let's say you created an
NSS volume on the Netware 6.0 server with compression turned off, and
the files coming from the old volume supported compression, you would
have an issue. If this is the case, you can just turn compression on the
NW 6.0 volume.

Subject: Problem Restoring Netware

I have a client that is trying to restore to a Novell server 

situation
data was saved from Novell 5.1 server to TSM using TSM client 4.2.2
(even tho I have repeatedly told them to go to 5.1.X)

novel server was upgraded to Novell 6.0 

some files were missing and they tried to restore using the existing TSM
4.2.2 client.

The restore worked for a while then it failed. After the failure, any
attempt to restore files to the server, even after upgrading to client
5.1.6 produced a series of messages that the files could not be written.


The TSM environment is a RS/6000 running AIX 4.2.3 

I think maybe the original restore on an unsupported client not designed
to support NW 6 may have caused a problem. 

Any one able to help me understand why it would not restore? Any
suggestions?
