[K12OSN] NAS Backup

[Kevin Christensen]

Hi Bert,
We are running 5.1 right now but are upgrading to 6.5 this summer. We
are mainly concerned about backing up user data, if we have to we would
just rebuild the server from scratch but the data would be safe. We are
even willing to buy a commercial product that we could get support for.
Is there any out there that will do this back up from Novell to Linux? I
would really like to get this to work, the more the big bosses see Linux
the more they want to use it. They are toying with the idea of making
two of our brand new elementary schools pure Linux terminal.

Thanks everybody for all your advice it is very much appreciated!
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

What version of Netware.

The solutions mentioned would back up your data. 

Assuming you are using NW 4.xx or greater, what about NDS / E-directory?
Believe me, even a single server, 500 NDS schema is a pain to rebuild by
hand. Personal experience from many moons ago taught me this one.

Cheers,
Bert
