[Networker] LGTpa50711 (netware client and nsr 7.x+)

Hi,

Has everyone who wants to be able to do netware saveset restores with networker 
server 7.x+ opened a tech support cases and gotten your name added to the list 
of people waiting for a fix?

As with any software company, Legato bases the priority of a fix on both the 
effect and the number of customer's who have opened cases regarding the issue. 
While this issue does have a moderate effect, it doesn't strictly cause a 
restore issue, and there is a clear workaround (merge or scan in CFI, and do a 
browsable recovery). What'll make this get fixed quicker is if those who want 
it fixed open up a tech support case.

Dave.

This is also preventing us from moving to Networker 7.x.  Inability to perf=
orm saveset recovers w/Netware clients is a showstopper for us.

.... which bites, because 7.x has some pretty nice backup-to-disk functiona=
lity.

>Can you elaborate on the Netwware client issues?

The main issue is LGTpa50711, which is the inability to do a saveset
recovery for NetWare clients once your server goes to 7.x.  It could make
a disaster recovery situation a complete failure, especially when you
couple it with other long-standing issues for the NetWare client.  One
such issue is that selective recovery (browsing) will fail if you mark
more than N files for recovery at once.  I don't think Legato's ever said
what N is, but their recommendation used to be no more than 200,000 files
at once, if you wanted to be sure that selective recovery will work.
