This release provides the following enhancements over Novell Archive and Version Services 1.0, released in NetWare 6.5:
Archive Database: The archive database now uses MySQL to organize and host file versions, which greatly reduces the time involved in searching for file versions. It also supports filenames with UTF-8 characters.
Versioning Process: The versioning process can use NSS pool snapshot technology to capture file versions at the end of an epoch. This ensures a point-in-time copy of all file versions, instead of copying files from the original files.
Archive Log: You can view the log in the Archive Versioning plug-in to iManager, the server logger screen, or sys:\arkManager\log.
Novell Storage Services
File Version Utility for Windows:
You can now retrieve files natively from your Windows computer
with the Versions function of the NSS File Version Utility. For
information, see Installing
and Using the NSS File Version Utility
in the Novell
Archive and Version Services for NetWare User Guide for OES.
Novell NetStorage Archive
Function:
Updates were made in the Novell NetStorage Archive function.
The interface now allows you to retrieve file versions, even if
the original parent directory is deleted or renamed. For information,
see Restoring
File Versions with NetStorage
in the Novell
Archive and Version Services for NetWare User Guide for OES.
