The answer on the automatic part is "it depends". The newest version of the TSM client for NetWare (5.2.2.0) will automatically backup NDS on a server that holds a master replica. For other servers and previous versions of the TSM client, you need to add NDS: to the domain line in your dsm.opt file.
For example: DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL NDS: When you query the filespaces on the TSM server, you'll see a filespace called NODE\NDS: which is listed separate from other filespaces for the node.

Do I need to code anything special in the DSM.OPT / INCLUDE or is this an automatic thing ? If it is automatic, how can I tell ? Is it part of the "server specific" stuff ? Also plan to do a test recovery of this server to another box, to test the restore aspect, including the NDS/eDirectory piece. Any hints/tips/suggestion/war-stories in this arena ? So far the only experience we have with recovering Netware systems has been user-data only, not NDS !
