So, backing up to a tape, and restoring it to the network drive via the tape 
on a client will work.. ok.
I wasn't sure on this.  One person said yes, one person said no.  I want to

Which is what I read in the manual and is why I thought I had to re-partition 
all drives to use it to use with netware.

Not as if I'm going to buy one of them anyway for any personal use, they're 
rather expensive in price.  Just very curious as to how some of this stuff 
gets setup.

For some strange reason, I think I feel safer with Netware and more 
comfortable setting it up and working with it rather that Linux.  I use Linux 
at school, about 60% of the network there is setup with it (the rest with 
FreeBSD and regular UNIX).
