I am looking for a program that I can install on laptop computers that will automatically download data to our novell server.

For example,
Remote Laptop with xp os, we would like to be able to ensure that the data is backed up to our server here, but the laptop does not have novell installed on it.

You don't need Novell (Netware) installed on the laptop...and, in fact, if you have a newer version of Netware don't even need Client32.

If you have an older netware server, you'll need to install the Novell client to communicate via IPX. Newer versions (5.x and 6.x) use TCP/IP and you can communicate the way you would to any other TCP/IP machine.

The best way to back the data up (in my opinion) would be to go ahead and load client32 (for performance) and schedule a batch file to go off at a convenient time. Have it copy the needed data to a folder on the server that is mapped by your logon script.

If you have a Novell 5.1 or 6.0 ,there is a program called Ifolder that is included(w/6)can be ordered for 5.1.
It will do everything you want it to do.And it is a no-brainer once set up properly.
