Re: Restoring NSFs backed up by BRMS

[Chris Whisonant <Chris.Whisonant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

1 - You can do the restore using the RST command.
2 - See 1... =). However, you wouldn't need Domino installed for BRMS 
unless you were going to restore the whole mail server. Even then you 
could do what you needed with the RST commands anyway.
3 - Not certain about this. You may would have to consider possible 
conversion issues since the iSeries would probably be saving in EBCDIC 
format.
