Thanks for posting this entry. We are just in the process of moving a
Netware 386 server (token ring attached ) into the same location as two
Sun systems (3/50 & 3/280) which are on a local ethernet LAN.  The
Netware system is new and has no tape backup (yet) and I was thinking
that it would sure be handy if we could use the Exabyte tape drive
which is attached to our Sun 3/50. Just put an ethernet card into the
Netware server.

From reading this posting, it looks like NFS support would let us use
the Unix backup (dump and restore) programs to backup our Netware
server.  Does this make sense? Anyone tried this?  Are there alternate
ways we could do this without buying NFS support?

Thanks,
