Information about a File or Folder
Files deleted from the NetWare server remain on the disk until the deleted files
are purged. Deleted files can be salvaged any time before they are purged.
Purging frees the space used to store the deleted files on the server's hard disk.
If a disk runs out of free space, NetWare automatically purges the files that
were deleted first. For instructions on salvaging and purging deleted files, see

NetWare allows you to protect your data with disk mirroring or duplexing.
Mirroring stores the same data on separate disks on the same controller
channel; duplexing stores the same data on separate disks on separate
controller channels.
Duplexing is the preferred method since two channels rarely fail
simultaneously.
Do not mirror a partition on a disk to another partition on the same disk. Doing
so is not fault tolerant, even though mirroring allows it.
With multiple partitions on a disk, any partition can be mirrored to any other
disk. This provides considerable flexibility in protecting partitions.
For information on mirroring and duplexing partitions, see
Partition in the Novell Storage Services Administration Guide.
IMPORTANT:
Access the ConsoleOne online help for important information about
mirroring partitions.
A Directory Map object represents a particular directory in the file system. For
