Has anybody got any experience with ProServe CX? At the moment I have serious problem with recovering lost data. After the crash of 3.12 server, the Novell system has been reinstalled. I am able to import the tape into the tape database. It seems to be OK; I can see all the files and I can tag them. But after the restoring there is only about 70 Megs of data on the destination disk. Should be 2000 MB. I am 99% sure that there is full backup on that tape. Neither incremental nor differential one. I am afraid that ProServe is an orphan software with no service support. Maybe any other backup software is able to import ProServe tapes?

First of all, if your client takes backing-up serious, they have to purchase a tape-drive, that complies with SBACKUP. This is absolutely minimum for anybody wanting a backup of their Netware server. Secondly to answer your question anyway, try running the routine BINDREST from the SYS:SYSTEM directory. You have to be logged in as a supervisor equivalent. This routine checks the Bindery for errors, but before doing so makes a copy of the Bindery into three files, whitch can easily be copied to a floppy. When restoring the Bindery simply copy the old bindery files back to SYS:SYSTEM and enter the command BINDREST followed by another BINDFIX. The second bindfix is run because you might have deleted user mail directories, and bindfix will create theese again.

Took a while to find the right way to post this message. My appologies to all that received a blank message from me! I have a problem with 4.1. Using remote boot with the bootrom, I get the following message: This utility could not execute external program Capture. Error 0006 occured. This is Login out of the box. I know there is a patch, but before I install it, does it overcome my problem? If not, what am I doing wrong? Oh, BTW, the error is due to a #Capture .... statement in the login script. This works OK with PC's that boot from the local disk. May your bottomless fountain of knowledge quench my thirst for answers!

Using bindfix and bindrest did the trick for the most part. The only thing I had to redo was to re-create the print server from scratch. Since it is a small lan, and no one is really using the print queues anyway, it was no big deal. But restoring the bindery files just couldn't get the print server to come back right. That's because some print server files are also system-hidden files within special subdirectories in the system directory. Other than that the bindfix-bindrest trick did the job. Now the question is; why don't any Novell books or third party books TELL about that? (answer; can't sell expensive software/hardware solutions that way.) Thanks again.

I use an Adaptec 1542b SCSI card. I have two SCSI cdroms on this server. One is a Teac 2xspeed, the other is a NEC 2xspeed. My problem is that I cannot make netware to see the NEC cdrom. With the TEAC no problems at all. I can mount my cd's, everything is working fine. The config of my SCSI bus is : ID0: Micropolis Hard Drive (internal bus) ID1: DEC Hard Drive (internal bus) ID2: NEC cdrom (external bus) ID3: TEAC cdrom (external bus) ID4: HP DAT tape drive (external bus) I tried to connect the NEC alone (without the TEAC and the HP Dat Drive), tried to change the SCSI id, without success. Whith the TEAC I can change the SCSI id to what I want, it's always working. On an other computer (DOS) with an Allways SCSI card, I can use the NEC and the TEAC in the same time without problems. With the Allways card I can "sense" the SCSI bus to see what is connected. Is there a way to do the same with an Adaptec 1542b, or from Netware? I dont think the problem is coming of the drivers because all devices are working well under Netware 3.12 except the NEC cdrom ! The terminations of the SCSI bus seems to be OK as far I know. Do you have an Idea ? Is there an incompatibility between some devices ? Thank you for all the suggestions you can make, I really don't know where to look at. ~~~ VbReader V1.4 Ok, now for a quick backuA&#^1s --- FLAME v1.1 * Origin: CCTI - GENEVA, CH (2:301/327)
