Restoring the NetWare Configuration

Restoring Novell NDS

Prerequisites

The prerequisites for performing a successful restore are the same as for
a backup of the NDS database. Data Protector restores NDS objects in
the same way as Novell NetWare filesystem data, except in the following
cases:

• NDS objects cannot be restored to other Novell NetWare volumes.

• Container and leaf objects (treated as directories by Data Protector)

cannot be restored into other container objects or as other container
objects.

Restoring the NDS does not affect the current partitioning and
replication in the NDS tree. If partitions and replicas exist when NDS
information is restored, those partitions and replicas are fully utilized. If
partition information does not exist at restore time, the entire tree
structure is placed in one partition.

NOTE

Data Protector does not restore the NDS partitions and replica
information. Partitions and replicas have to be manually reestablished.
