We have Novell Adv. NW 286 V2.15 Rev C with Apple extensions and an NE2000
card to allow Macs to be integrated into the Novell system (and Mac network
printers to be accessible from Novell land)

This WORKS fine.
However (or but..., if you prefer)

The Mac files on the Novell server become marked execute only.  This has 
the effect that those files cannot be backed up using "normal"
Novell backup techniques and still retain flags, groups etc.

I did think of one alternative, and that is to save a control
file of the flags, owner, group etc. and then be able to use a
"dos" type restore and run the control file using a piece of
unknown software over the whole file system (or just the MAC
stuff) happily restoring the Novellian data lost at backup time.

Does anyone have any really great ideas ?

Thanks,
Andrew.
