R
subsystems—protocols, gateways, LAN and disk drivers, etc.
• Data structures and other network resources that do not easily fit into one of the
above categories, or are created by a combination of network components—
volumes, queues, users, processes, security, and so forth.
Restore
A retrieval of data previously copied and backed up to a storage media.
Perform a restore if data has been lost or corrupted since the backup.
See also “Backup.”
Rights
Qualities assigned to a NetWare Directory Services (NDS) object that
control the access the NDS object has to directories, files, or other NDS
objects. Creating, reading, and other operations can be done only if an object
has rights to perform them.
Rights are granted to a specific directory, file, or NDS object by trustee
assignments. An object with a trustee assignment to a file, directory, or NDS
object is a trustee of that file, directory, or object.
Within each NDS object is an Access Control List (ACL) that defines who
has rights to the object. Files and directories contain similar information, but
not in the form of ACLs.
An NDS object’s ACL defines what has rights to the object but does not
define what the object has rights to. For example, a printer object’s ACL
defines which users have rights to the printer, but a user object’s ACL does
not define which printers the user has rights to.
This differs from the file system. Rights to a file can be designated in the
user object. However, rights to a file can also be granted in the file itself.
Directory, file, object, and property rights
Directory rights apply to the directory in the NetWare file system that they
are assigned to, as well as to all files and subdirectories in that directory
(unless redefined at the file or subdirectory level).
