I messed up adding space to my volumes, and now I cannot add any more of my
free space without removing a volume segment.  I need to destroy SYS and
recreate it on a 3.12 server.  I have a 4.10 server also on the net.  Could
I copy from a workstation the SYS volume info to the 4.10 server, destroy
the 3.12 volume, recreate it, and then copy the info back from the 4.10
server?  Would I loose my bindery info?  

I want to avoid having to reinstall Netware and Arcserve if possible.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Make sure you restore and dont copy or you will lose your Bindry..
but I think it should work.

You could use NBACKUP from Novell to backup to  the 4.10 server. This way 
your bindery info will be backupped too. NBACKUP will only backup/restore 
DOS or MACintosh name space.
