Subject: DIRSTAMP.SYS File

GENERAL
INFORMATION: DIRSTAMP.SYS is a hidden file that resides in the root
directory of volume SYS. It contains information about file
ownership and drive ID. If it is deleted, the file
ownership field will be blank. If this file does not exist
when you load the operating system, it creates the file.
The problem occurs when you create the ID. The ID is
different than the SYS vol should be. If you use Novell
BACKUP and RESTORE, the backup works fine and will backup
the data just fine. If you need to restore a file or
directory, it will restore. But if you have to restore the
whole volume, it will come back with wrong volume ID and
will not restore because it read the ID in the DIRSTAMP.SYS
on the volume and compared it to the ID in DIRSTAMP.SYS on
the tape and they were different.
