    Why can't you just install Novell and Oracle on a test server and then do the restore, followed by an export and import into your current server?

    Cold backups from a given OS are, in general, DIGITAL JUNK to other : file formats CHANGE from OS to OS, I do not bet in your success with this approach.. The correct way is : put togheter a novell server (with the SAME original version), put Oracle binaries on in (SAME original database version), restore the tape, mount the database, EXPORT the data and IMPORT the exported file in windows, linux, whatever...
