While we are on the topic, What is the best strategy for backing up NDS?
We have district sites with tape libraries and remote sites with Netware clients that will either backup directly to the district TSM server, or to a local tsm server with disk only and the copypool is on the district server. What's the best NDS strategy for a remote site? Maybe NDS backup of the remote site weekly and let replication catch it up if a restore is necessary? I'm not really a Netware guy so any real-life stuff is appreciated.

I noticed that; 1. 'dsmc i NDS:' will backup all the objects again and again as if there is no true incremental backup of it. Documentation says about 'domain' option for ENTIRE NDS bacckup. So, do I have no choice, but backing up the entire objects every night? 2. NDS backup was taking too long. Changed dsm.opt parameters; tcpw 64; txnb=25600 and it helped a little bit. Any other suggestion on tunning parameter for NetWare client backup? Thanks a lot for your help!!
