I built two different targets on a novell server. The first target, which is 
named SERVER, is set up to exclude certain directories during the backup but 
for the most part, backs up the entire Novell file system. The second target, 
named CDROM, is set up to include a certain few directories (and only those 
directories) from those that were excluded in the SERVER target. I did it this 
way because I could not find another method to include certain files and 
directories for structures that had already been excluded.

What I'm finding with the backup is this:

When I use the XWindows GUI to do a restore, it will list the SERVER target and 
all the directories that were covered by it, just as it always has. It also 
lists the CDROM target but the only thing subordinate to it is the Server 
Specific Data. I cannot see any of the selected files or directories I 
specifically included in that target.

When I use the Java GUI, I can see everything I expected to see in both targets.

Anybody have an explanation for this?

This will not become a big issue until I'm asked to restore a file from one 
source client to a different target client. I have no problems doing this in 
the XWindows GUI but cannot get an alternate path restore to work under the 
Java GUI.

Environment is:

NBU 3.2GA running under Solaris 2.6 on a Sun E450 Master Server (no media 
servers) with an attached ATL7100 library.

Regards,
Dennis
