[K12OSN] NAS Backup

[Barry Solof]

Hi,

We've played with the standard rsync and Netware quite a bit.  The 
bottom line is that you can sync files from Netware to Linux but all you 
get is the files.  You lose Netware ownerships and permissions. 

If your goal is to move some files and directories, this is fine.  But 
if you want to use these files as a substitute Netware backup it leaves 
a lot to be desired.  After a server crash you'd be able to restore the 
files but would have to recreate each directory and file ownership by hand.

Also, the latest version of Netware come with an rsync nlm.  This 
version of rsync will maintain permissions during a Netware to Netware 
copy.  We use it each night to sync two Netware servers and it works 
nicely.  But I don't know if it can keep Netware permissions if you sync 
the files to linux.
