Real problem is Novell: It won't talk tcp/ip (yeah all right 3.11 will) but
even then will you be able to initiate a dump from a Novell server to the net?
I doubt it.

If you use a PC to do the job you can backup all file systems that the PC is 
logged into by using TCP/IP and Netware concurrently on the PC (Frances at
FTP will tell you how) but that won't backup the Netware operating system.
So you couldn't rebuild the config after a big crash.

It might be enough just toi backup the data tho.


Does the tcp/ip on your vaxen have rmt? If not you will have to fudg3e it.
Using a PC file compression utility and piping it to rsh can work.

Good luck
