Yes, each session on the client takes up client memory and if you do not have enough memory for the amount of sessions you started the Netware box could have ran out of memory. In one of the install docs there is a formula to calculate how much memory you need based on the amount of files on the server. Feel free to email me directly if you like for further discussion.

The client went down, not the server.

My guess is you ran the server out of memory and it cycled. James W.

I did this manually and opened 12 sessions (6 seperate backups). We had MacAfee running and are thinking that the combination of the two caused the Netware Client to reboot. It has a 100 MB card and I was trying to backup as fast as possible for a restore to a different box. The total of 88 GB was need to be backed up so that it could restore. I thought I could open as many sessions as I wanted since I was going straight to disk and then I would have done the same on the restore. Is there a known limitation on the client for open sessions according to the size of the box or otherwise? Would the backup have caused even remotely the Netware client to reboot? And for future use is there anyway of telling how many sessions to open on any box? Some guidelines or other? Thank you in advance
