We are running 386/3.0.  Agreed, the Novell NBACKUP did not preserve the
perms. Sytos PLUS, though flawed, will preserve MOST of the permissions
( ALL that normal humans care about).  Version 1.10 DIDN'T, I have verified
that 1.20 does (though flawed.  I should post on this ...). Sytos relayed
that the problem these utilities are having is due to how late Novell
released their Permissions Data Structure specification.
