NetWare Migration Wizard 6 Aministration Guide
1
In the Project Window, click Copy Volumes.
Before Migration Wizard starts copying files, it backs up your directory
and file trustees and saves them in files located on the source and the
destination server. Once the NDS migration is complete, Migration
Wizard restores the trustees from the files it stored on the destination
server.
You do not need to copy all volumes at once. You can select volumes to
copy now and then copy other volumes later by reopening the project file.
Remember that open files are not migrated.
IMPORTANT:
If you choose to copy your volumes in phases, at the final volume
copy, make sure you select all volumes that you previously copied and then click
Cancel. Otherwise, Migration Wizard will restore trustee assignments only to the
last volumes that were copied.

your volumes.
IMPORTANT:
If you using tape backup, do not restore the source server's
standard SYS: directories to the destination server if you are upgrading your
NetWare operating system to a higher version. The standard SYS: directories, like
SYS:SYSTEM and SYS:PUBLIC, were created for you during the NetWare
installation.
If you are only migrating your existing data to new hardware and keeping the same
version of NetWare, restore the source server's standard SYS: directories to the
destination server.
If you decide to use tape backup, select No for all volumes on the Select
