Better understand now.  Use the BINDFIX trick to get the accounts and object 
id's transferred.  This doesn't restore any files.
Then use either the tape or straight copying to get the files back, including 
SYS:MAIL.  
The problem with straight copying is no rights transfer. You'd have to put 
them all back, using a tool like STRUSTEE and RTRUSTEE.  STRUSTEE saves the 
trusteeships to a file. RTRUSTEE takes the file as input and restores the 
trusteeships.
Assuming you use a Netware approved backup program, the tape drive will 
restore the trusteeships along with files.
Maybe a good time for new tape drive?
