This chapter discusses the basic structure of the NDS (Novell Directory Services), and provides recovery scenarios to protect NDS data against loss or corruption.
The NDS is an object-oriented, hierarchical database that manages resources such as servers, users, groups, file systems, and printers in a network. The NDS is a global service that physically resides on multiple servers within a network. Please refer to the publication, Novell NetWare Introduction to Novell Directory Services, for general information about the NDS. This publication should be included in the NetWare installation package.
