Novell login scripts, passwords etc. are stored in special files called
Bindary files. Some backup systems can backup there files, some can't.
You will have to check the documentation for your software.

If your system does not backup Bindary files, then I don't know how you
can get around this problem. Perhaps sombody could post a solution?

Hope this answers your question.
