Is this true only in recent versions (i.e., 7.4x +)? We're going to 
upgrade our production environment (probably to 7.5.x) early next year -- 
we're still on 7.2 there -- and while *all* of our Netware clients chunk, 
I've never in almost 10 years experienced a single restore failure as a 
result of that, AFAIK.

Just curious.
