Help preserving file ownership

[James Taylor]

Here's a pointer to the doc for the OES2SP1 based tools.

http://www.novell.com/documentation/oes2/mig_tools_lx/index.html?page=/documentation/oes2/mig_tools_lx/data/bfh18cc.html#bfh18cc

and here's one for SCMT.
 
http://www.novell.com/documentation/scmt/scmt12/index.html?page=/documentation/scmt/scmt12/data/bz4e3kg.html

I've never tried to do this, but it seems worth a shot.
It is definitely not a supported solution.

That would be great. The server that currently hosts the drives is a

Any pointers to docs ?
