Novell/Netware Data Recovery Software and Services

Novell/Netware Data Recovery Information:

The first step in recovering from a data loss on a Netware server comes before the actual data loss. You need to document some key facts in order to perform the recovery. Do not wait until you actually need to perform a recovery of your NetWare server to gather the documentation you need to perform the recovery. There are many pieces of information that you will need to perform a successful NetWare recovery that can only be obtained while your server is operational. If you do not have this information and your server is dead in the water, the chances of a successful recovery are greatly reduced. In this section, we will identify all of the pieces of information you will need to perform a complete NetWare system recovery.
