We are experiencing a problem backing up the nds on our netware servers. It is a known problem, novell claims it is working as designed, and suggest that we exclude the license objects from the backup (see below). I have tried several ways to exclude these objects but have not been successful. Anyone know how to do it?

Getting error when backing up licenses on NW4.X, during NDS backup: "<license object> is a corrupted file". Getting error backing up licenses on NW5.X during NDS backup: "<license object> Insufficient rights". Error E3125 Failed to read <Object Name> data set, fffdfe83 in ArcServe log. Same error with Backup Exec 8.5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cause This type of error is the result of some changes in licensing which were introduced with SP4/SP8 and SP3 for NW5.1. The new version of NLS is masking out all rights to read the license objects. This will not allow the licensing object to be backed up as designed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fix When preforming a backup the licensing objects will need to be excluded. Upon making a restore from a backup the licenses will need to be reinstalled.
