[K12OSN] NAS Backup

[Kevin Christensen]

I am going to have to look into rsync some more. We are not to concerned
with the permissions because we back those up separately. Any good links
to site with some really good documentation that hasn't been already
posted?

You guys are so helpful thank you

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.

Barry
