     Hi Scott,
     The software that I have is Seagate Backup. The manual says that
     it will back up all Netware specific files if you are logged in
     as supervisor. I could see that the bindery files were being
     closed and reopened when I ran the backup. But it came for
     restore, it did not restore those files although it asked me
     if wanted to restore the bindery and I said yes. As for the
     print queues, I could not see the files on the tape.
     The occurrence of severe errors such that some of the normal files
     (non-Netware related files) could not be compared successfully
     indicates something wrong with the hardware. What do you think?
     Thanks for your input...
     Regards...
