This sounds like you have the "classic" novel server setup, where the proprietary netware software is started using a DOS. There's - as far as I know - no native FD for that platform. You will have to mount the volumes to another machine with an FD to back them up. Storing the metadate like ACLs and whatever else there is will require the tools from netware (don't ask me...), restoring will probably be a process with many stages. You will probably only succeed with help from a Novell admin. The other way - netware running on a linux, and offering its services through normal linux daemons - would make integrating an FD much easier. Most probably, you could run your backups directly on the server, and easily store and restore all filesystem data. In your case, you'll need a helper machine where you run the SD, mount the netware volumes, and make sure all data not accessible through ncpfs or NFS is dumped to a file before you run the backups. This is surely something where you need advice from a netware person.
