Hello, which NDS-rights needs an appropriate user who administrates the Tivoli-Client under NetWare to backup/restore netware servers. It shouldn t be the Novell admin. During a backup-test the Tivoli admin got supervisor rights to the server object in the NDS, for a whole NDS-backup he got supervisor rights to the Root object. Everything worked but however we want to reduce his rights to a minimum. I know it sounds strange, but we want to seperate the tasks at our company. Thanks a lot Torsten
