Need to restore to an NTFS volume. If we have to restore to FAT, then it will be too time intensive because we'd have to restore them to one place and then copy them to the actual server. If that is the case (can't restore to NTFS from data pulled off a Netware server), then a straight copy from the destination server to the target server would be faster after all.
