Here's an example of an aix restore (of incrementally backed up data) from = one box to another box.=20 >From sourcenode1, grant access to sourcenode1's backup data to targetnode2:= dsmc tsm> set access backup * targetnode2 * tsm> q access If you want to increase sessions/tape drives for the restore: Change maxmountpoints for targetnode2 to however many tape drives = you can afford (update node command) Add resour # to targetnode2's dsm.sys file (where # is one more = than maxmountpoints)=20 >From targetnode2: # dsmc tsm> q ba -fromnode=3Dsourcenode1 /directory-to-restore = -pitdate=3Dmm/dd/yyyyy -pittime=3Dhh:mm:ss -subdir=3Dyes (use the query = to ensure you have the restore syntax correct) nohup dsmc restore -fromnode=3Dsourcenode1 "/directory-to-restore/= " /new-directory-name/ -pitdate=3Dmm/dd/yyyyy -pittime=3Dhh:mm:ss = -subdir=3Dyes > /tmp/tsm/logs/restore-fromnode1.log & Be sure to change back the maxmountpoints and remove the resour # from the = dsm.sys. Also, review the "preservepath" option if you are concerned with the = directory structure that you're restoring: dsmc help 117 1c.lxxx) Preservepath The preservepath option specifies how much of the source path to reproduce as part of the target directory path when you restore or retrieve files to a new location. Use the -subdir=3Dyes option to include the entire subtree of the source directory (directories and files below the lowest-level source directory) as source to be restored. If a required target directory does not exist, it is created. If a target file has the same name as a source file, it is overwritten. Use the -replace=3Dprompt option to have Storage Manager prompt you before files are overwritten.
