Not all tape backup software can backup and restore NetWare's bindery 
files; these are the files of your user accounts, passwords, etc.  The 
same also applies to NetWare 4.x -- if you're going to back up a 4.x 
server that's running on NDS, you want a NDS-compliant backup software.  
Fortunately, most of the current tape software offerings will do it.
