Recursive copying
The process of copying a specified source directory to a destination directory
until all files and subdirectories in and below the specified source directory
are copied.
Recursive copying copies all directories and files of a logical drive to the
destination, keeping them exactly as they were in the source directory.
The DOS XCOPY and BACKUP utilities use recursive copying, as does the
NetWare NCOPY command.
Related utility: “NCOPY” (Utilities Reference).
Reference time server
A server that specifies the time for all other time servers and workstations to
synchronize to.
See “Time synchronization.”
Registered resources
Network resources that report information to the SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol) agent.
The SNMP agent maintains a table of ID numbers that are assigned to the
registered resources and is aware of which management daemon monitors
each resource.
In NetWare Services the principal management daemons are the NWUMPS
daemon and the NWUM daemon.
Each daemon keeps a hierarchical listing of registered resources but does not
maintain a permanent record of the resources’ attributes, status, and so forth.
Instead of maintaining records of the actual data, the daemon regularly, or on
request, monitors the resources registered with it.
The system manages registered resources through requests to the SNMP
agent. The SNMP agent checks the table of ID numbers to determine which
daemon is monitoring that registered resource and the request for services or
