Novell 5 Server Backup Issue 1

[wilbo]

Hi Guys,

We are currently running a Novell 5 server which uses an external raid 5 drive system. I now need to replace both the server and drive as a quickly as possible as they are both on their way out! Although we backup important files from the server daily, I have no backup of users, print queues etc. Could someone please recommend the best way of backing up my existing config so I can a. Sleep at night, b. be ready to restore it when my new server arrives.

Sorry to be so vague, thrown in the deep end with this one!

Regards
Jamie

Why don't you keep the one server in place and just install the new server into the same tree which will replicate all of your user and group and other NDS info. Then migrate the printers and data. Much less painful.
