The Novell Storage Management Services (SMS) backup infrastructure provides backup applications with the framework to develop a complete backup and restore solution.
SMS helps back up file systems (such as NSS) or application data, such as data from GroupWise on NetWare and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), to removable tape media or other media for off-site storage. It provides a single consistent interface for all file systems and applications across NetWare and SLES.
The upgrade path for SMS is to install it on the OES server.
NOTE:The third-party backup software that supports the standard Linux Extended Attributes (xAttr) can use the xAttr commands for NSS volumes to preserve trustees, trustee rights, file attributes, and quotas in backup and restore. For information about Using Extended Attributes (xAttr) Commands, see OES 2015 SP1: NSS File System Administration Guide for Linux.
