We had an experience this weekend that caused us to have to recreate a NetWare partition and restore from backups. We're back up and running, but we'd like to ask a few questions: 1. Can/should we run VREPAIR while the volume is re-mirroring? Common sense would say "No", but the vendor said it was OK. 2. Can/should we ever do restores while the volumes are re-mirroring? Again, common sense says "No", but the vendor said it was OK. 3. If VREPAIR had to be run on a volume and found corruption *and* you had to restore the volume, is doing a restore with an overwrite option OK, or should we delete the partition, re-create it? Common sense would say "You should delete the volume...", but again... Pointers to official Novell statements would be appreciated, since up until now, I haven't been able to find any documentation on doing this kind of stuff. The FAQ says nothing either (or I completely missed it). Thanks.
