I would hardly consider NT as an appserver an advantage. Every ISP I have
seen running NT for internet dameions (HTTPD,FTPD,IRCD,...) has had nothing
but problems (not to mention that NT security is a joke).
Anyone doing any serrious work with Internet related servers should be
running Unix. M$ has several years to go and a few OS revisions before they
will get the same level of power, flexability, & stability that the various
flavors of Unix offers.

I have to replace the 1.2 Gig IDE hard disk on my 4.10 server. It sounds like

Is there an easy way to copy all the system and user files over so I can

How could I easily copy the user and tree settings over?
Thanks in advance,

Are you talking about Netware volumes or partitions, Colin ?  If it
is partitions the answer is no without wiping the existing partition
and creating a new larger one.  If you are talking volumes, i.e. if
you already have a SYS volume but have extra space on your Netware
partition then you can create another partition to use the extra
space on the Netware partition.

Some properties I would like the structure of :

if you want to modify it, copy it into SYS:\MAIL\1 (the supervisor

assistant: Hi All
Just some advance notice that I will shortly be quitting from Fidonet.
I finally managed to get a redundancy from my work last Monday, and have
lined up a big holiday. The main purpose of the trip is to visit relatives in
England who I haven't seen for many years and my wife has never met.
We are going to do it as a big round-the-world trip, with stops in:
Hawaii (sister-in-law's residence)
Vancouver (trips to Banff & Jasper parks, as well as Seatlle)
Montreal
London (hopefully for about 6 months, if I can get some work)
Rome (touring Italy)
Bangkok (to thaw out after a Europe winter at Koh Samui or similar)
It looks as though we will be back around February or March next year.
My guess is that the house will be packed up around 8th or 9th of May, so
I'll be shutting down a day or two before that and deselecting all the echoes
a couple of days before.
Thanks for your help with any thorny Novell problems over the last few years,
and I hope I can rejoin when I return.
Regards
Richard

assistant: Hi Frank,
Oh well. I appreciate the file structure are different, but I didn't want to
expand the volume inside the partition, just the partition itself.
long story...
Basically I'm asked to work on the NetWare 4 server on work. I have a NetWare
3
server at home and so have quite a bit of experience with it. (I suspected
ll
the answers you've given me, I was just hoping some smart ass would know a
ay
round the problem ;-)).
The guy who is in charge of the server (and asked me to do the jobs) at work
(admin) doesn't have any experience with NetWare at all yet.
As you can imagine doing these jobs without access is time consuming, I need
to
hang around when he is available to type in the admin password every five
seconds.
So now I'll need to get the license disk from the central services (as it
doesn't appear to be restored in a backup, or am I wrong?) which will take
time,
then I'll have to direct a full backup, then reinstall Novell from my 2 user
disc, install the correct license, install rudimentary NDS, install ArcServe
and restore the files and NDS, all of this having to take place whenever
dmin
is around to enter in his password all the time. Not a huge problem, just a
bit
of a pita. I'd like to have been able to do the job for him, but in my own
time
if you know what I mean.
If I could even restore the license that would save me bundles of time,
because
I wouldn't have to wait on the Computer Centre here. I assume Novell have
prevented the license being transferred for anti-piracy reasons, or did I
make a
mistake?
Thanks anyway for confirming my fears :-)
