You must load tsa4xx.nlm on you server for use SMS. TSA410 - for NW
4.1x, may be 
TSA420 - for NW 4.20?

I think there is a NLM for ARCNet to allow long file names.....

I suggest going to your hardware documentation and looking for any NLM's or
readme files on the subject.

Good Luck

I'm curious. You say Arcserve APPEARS to be truncating the files names. 
Arcserve's database browse feature only shows the 8.3 name, but DOES
actually backup the long name.  It is PITA if you don't know what the
short name of a file you want to restore is.

Part of SMS is the TSA running on your Win95 PC that allows Arcserve to
back them up.

Warning for all!

As noted in the message below, ARCserve has long recommended using
NetWare SMS.

However, you'll find that the latest versions won't restore a backup
done using SMS. They'll merge the tapes in, even let you list the
database and see long file names etc - but they'll skip the files. (No
error message - that would be far too helpful!)

I've struck this in migrating from NetWare v3.12 to Window NT v4.0, but
seen others reporing same problem on a pure v3.xx NetWare upgrade.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED - something that AFAIK the *makers* of the product
(www.cai.com)haven't bothered to do.
