* /etc/fstab
This is the file system table, containing the list of the file systems to mount and their mount points.
* /mac/sys/System Folder/Preferences/Users & Groups Data file
This file contains information about your AppleShare Users & Groups, and is essential for maintaining access privileges on the server. If you ever reinstall your software or create a new system folder, the Users & Groups Data File containing the data on your users should be placed in the Preferences folder of the new System Folder BEFORE launching the AppleShare Admin program. Otherwise, a new Users & Groups data file is created, and all access privileges of your users & groups will be lost.
NOTE: The other file that is essential to preserving access privileges -- the AppleShare PDS file -- is invisible. However, Retrospect will retain access privilege information on your shared data if the File Server software is running and the folders are being shared during the backup process. See Appendix D, "Backing Up and Restoring Servers" of your Retrospect manual for details.
* /mac/sys/System Folder/Preferences/Retrospect/Retro.Configuration
This file contains your settings for Retrospect, including such things as scripts, remote names, activator codes, and location of storage sets. Back up this file whenever you make significant changes to your Retrospect settings.
If You've Modified The Mac32 Environment
* /mac/bin/mac32
This file is a shell script which sets certain environment variables; if you have modified this file for any reason -- for example, to change the default file format from AppleSingle to AppleDouble -- create a backup of it.
If You've Set Up UNIX Users
* /etc/passwd
This is the password database containing a list of all UNIX users and their encrypted passwords. (Note that these are UNIX users only, such as "root", not AppleShare registered users. AppleShare registered user and group data is contained in /mac/sys/System Folder/Preferences/Users & Groups Data File.)
* /etc/group
This is a group database file
If You've Configured the WS 95 for TCP/IP
* /etc/NETADDRSS
This file contains the IP address for your computer, created when you run newconfig bnet.
* /etc/hosts

* /etc/HOSTNAME
This file contains the hostname and domain name for your machine, created when you run newconfig bnet.
* /etc/resolv.conf
This file contains domain name server information
