Restore from BackUp Exec 12 to NetWare Volume Fails
I can backup my NetWare servers with BackUp Exec 12 with no issue. Restoring, apparently, seems to be a different story.
When I try and restore it fails, "Restore- Server1.NetWare File System/EYER_IMC_SRV1/VOL1: V-79-57344 -33037 - Error - Mount failed.
Physical Volume Library Media not found.
V-79-57344-33037 - Unable to acquire device for the specified pool and media"
Symantec says it is a credentials issue. Really? I am restoring with .admin.nds as the user name...?
I can restore files to the Windows server and copy them, no problem... EXCEPT for NetWare compressed files which stay compressed. BE and Novell say that you have to restore them directly to the compressed NetWare Volume... which I can't do...
Any help?

It turned out to be credentials after all.... when I tried to do the restore, it was not saving my .admin.nds creds to restore with, it was using the Windows (default) credentials. Once I made sure the Novell credentials stayed, it worked.
Thanks!

And the .admin.nds user has full priv's to that (and all associated) folders. I thought it might have something to do with the service acct... the BE Server is a Windows box and the service account is not valid in NDS for access. I know during a backup the service account has to have full access to the destination, but didn't think it was the same for a restore.
Either way, the accounts are valid so there must be some trick to restoring a NetWare backup from a Windows based BackUp Exec server to it's original location in NetWare.
