Problems restoring NDS Tree

[Mike_Locklar]

# Netware 6 SP4
# Veritas BackupExec for Windows 9.1.4691

I'm trying to verify whether or not our backup solution is doing what it's
supposed to do. I'm restoring a production server in a test environment,
using only backup media. The problem I'm having is in restoring the
TREE.

I can sucessfully restore the Schema and data volumes, but when restoring the
Tree I see errors like this:

Access denied to directory ./.T=TREE/.O=ORG/.OU=Whatever
Error writing SMS data stream
Acess denied to file ../.T=TREE/.O=ORG/.OU=Whatever/.CN=Name.OU=Whatever.O=ORG.T=TREE..
Error writing SMS data stream

This only happens with some items. Portions of the Tree restore just fine.

Backup is using TSA600, not TSAFS.
(TSA600.NLM 6.00.08)

Backup logs show no errors. Backup account is root Admin.
Restore using root Admin with same pw as production server.

Update:

If the restore job for the tree is run repeatedly, each time the job is run more of the tree is successfully restored. I was able to restore the Tree with the exception of one OU. Created a restore job just for this OU, and got the following error message:

Unable to attach to one of the drives
0xa000848c
Resource Errors

Ok... since I'm not getting a response to my particular issue, how about this:

Is there documentation anywhere for successfully backing up and restoring an NDS tree? Something more detailed than, "Backup the Tree." or "Restore the Tree."

Thanks.

Hi Mike,

-Is it a single server or multi-server tree environment ?

-If the option to Preserve Tree is not selected in the redirected restore options , then the restore job will complete successfully, however, no data will be restored.
