Stupid question time for which I am pretty sure I know the answer but must
ask......

We are terminating our Netware license for Netware servers.  So, effective
July 1, we can not legally have any running/functioning Netware servers.

>From everything I understand (please correct me if I am wrong), you CAN
NOT restore Netware backups to anything other than a Netware server.

So, as far as I am concerned (and have told my last remaining Netware
server admins), any Netware backups after June 30, are mostly useless.
Besides, the contents have been migrated to other Windoz servers.

Yet we still have folks wanting to perform, last final backups of long
dismounted volumes (thus flushed out of TSM, long ago).

Am I correct on this?  Am I missing anything?
