A second key will identify the version of NICI currently installed. For example:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\NICI (Shared) U.S./Worldwide (128 bit)
Performing a Backup
1
Backup any registry information under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\NICI*
NICI* indicates all registry keys which begin with NICI. There might be more than one.
2
Back up the directory, including subdirectories, identified by
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\NICI\ConfigDirectory.
As with the UNIX systems, remember the access rights on that directory and all subdirectories.
See
“Performing a Backup” on page 489
for more information.
If commercial software is used to do the back up, make sure the backup program itself runs as a
system process. This will ensure that the program will be able to access all the directories and
subdirectories.
Restoring NICI
1
If NICI is not installed, restore all the registry information first.
or
If NICI is installed, remove NICI and overwrite the registry information from the backup store.
2
Restore the files and directories within
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\NICI\ConfigDirectory as selected by the
operator.
As in the UNIX case, we recommend restoring all the files as a group. But a knowledgeable operator
can choose to restore individual entries. This can be done only if the nicifk and xmgrcfg.wks files
did not change from the one on the backup store. In that case, be sure to adjust the access rights
based on the new owner of the user configuration directories. The individual directories are named
after the owner but access rights are controlled by the SID. Just because a subdirectory is named
BOB does not automatically mean that the current user BOB is the correct owner of the information
being restored.
Special Case for Windows
It is possible to configure the registry value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\NICI\UserDirectoryRoot to indicate that the
user configuration files be placed in the user’s personal configuration directory. In that case, be
prepared to back up and restore the user information independently as part of normal backup and
restore operations. If NICI has been configured in that manner, you should know about it and be
prepared to do individual backups.
This special case for the Windows user directory is enabled by creating the registry value
EnableUserProfileDirectory rather than just pointing the directory path there. If Windows is
configured to automatically create and delete user accounts, the directory might be automatically
deleted when the user profile directory is enabled. In that case, backup and restore is only necessary
for those specific users who are permanent. The default path will be user the
Application
Data\Novell\Nici
directory branch of the user’s directory in Documents and Settings.
