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.
