The following guidelines for each file/directory are recommended when restoring when NICI is
already installed on the box:
16.11.2 NetWare
Before NICI 2.
x
, the configuration files were kept in
sys:\_NetWare
and different procedures
apply. These instructions are valid only for NICI 2.
x
or later.
Performing a Backup
Back up the
sys:\system\NICI
directory and any subdirectories and access rights. There is
only one user on NetWare so the complication of backing up and restoring the user directories as on
UNIX and Windows does not exist.
Restoring NICI
If NICI is not installed, restore the
sys:\system\NICI
directory and its contents.
If NICI is installed (as indicated by the presence of the
sys:\system\NICI\nici.cfg
file),
take a backup of the existing setup and remove NICI. Copy the whole backup structure from the
backup store to restore.
Selective restoration can be done only if the nicifk file hasn’t changed from the one on the backup
store. If it hasn’t changed, restore whatever files in the
sys:\system\NICI
directory you want.
Generally, the files should be restored as a group, but a knowledgeable operator can choose to
restore only certain files or subdirectories.
16.11.3 Windows
Configuration information is kept in the system registry under the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\NICI.
File Name
Procedure
xmgrcfg.nif
Can be restored over an existing file.
xarchive.000
Can be restored over an existing file.
User specific directories and
files
Take care that the userid in the backup is the same as the user on the
box. If the user directory already exists, determined if the user wants
to keep the current files or restore them to a previous state. Normally,
user configuration files should be restored as a group rather than
individually. Be sure to restore the user files under the correct user’s
correct userid and to restore the rights on the user directory and
contents.
For example, if BOB had userid 1000 at the time of the backup but
now has userid 5000, the files in the backed up directory 1000 should
be restored to directory 5000, or BOB’s UID must be changed back to
1000.
The restore process must not just blindly restore the user directories
without input from the operator. In either case, a backup of the
existing NICI user directory needs to be done.
