Copy Volumes
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.
2 Select each volume name from the text field and then click Yes or No.
If you decide not to copy any of the volumes, select No for all volumes,
click Next, and then continue with “Edit Configuration Files” on page 28.
If you selected Yes for one or more of the volumes, continue with Step 3.
If you have big volumes or slow LAN connections, or if you want to
reconfigure your data by putting existing directories into different folders
on the destination server, you should consider using a backup tape to copy
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
Volumes to Copy screen, click Next, and continue with “Edit
Configuration Files” on page 28.
3 Decide if you want to copy the source server’s SYS: directories to the
destination server’s SYS:MIG directory, and then click Next.
Migration Wizard never overwrites the SYS: directories on the
destination server. If you choose to migrate the source server’s SYS:
