Gail,

The NetWare client does backup and restore trustee rights at the directory
level.
Also, you can restore only directories by using the command line client and
adding
the -dirsonly option.

You may want to look thru the html file sent with the NetWare client entitled
ntwback.htm. It should be installed along with the NLM. This gives some
pointers on NDS backup and restore.

Regards,
Frank Ramke

Subject:  Netware / Trustee Rights





My user is very upset that we cannot restore 'just trustee assignments for a
directory' in Netware client environments.  We have ADSM 3.1.2.20 with the
Netware client 3.1.0.6 - It does state in the manual that 'trustee rights' are
only kept at a file level -- We don't want to restore all of the files -
apparently we just lost the 'Directory Services' and we restored with a new
'Directory Service' which was empty --

Does anyone have any input on this process -- is ADSM planning on
incorporating this function in the future?  My user was 'awfully surprised'
when he realized that ADSM doesn't backup up 'trustee assignments' at the
directory level (please prove us wrong!)

TIA ---
