Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide

Restoring or Retrieving Your Files to Another Client Node

Tivoli Storage Manager lets you restore files you backed up or retrieve files you archived from your own NetWare server when you are using a different NetWare server. You must enter your node name, because your backups and archives are stored according to your node, not your specific machine. Your Tivoli Storage Manager password protects your data.

To restore or retrieve files to another NetWare server, use the nodename option to specify the node name of the NetWare server from which you backed up or archived the files. You can either use the nodename option when starting Tivoli Storage Manager or update the client options file on the NetWare server. (If you are using someone else's machine, you can avoid changing their configuration by using the nodename option on the load dsmc command.)

For example, enter the following:

   load dsmc res -nodename=nw1 serva\sys:home/proj/* servb\sys:home/proj/

where nw1 is the node name for the NetWare server from which you backed up the files, serva\sys:home/proj/* identifies the server and the files you want to restore, and servb\sys:home/proj/ indicates where you want to place the files you are restoring. You must specify a destination, or Tivoli Storage Manager attempts to restore the files to the node from which the files were backed up.

You can enter the password option with the restore or retrieve command, or allow Tivoli Storage Manager to prompt you for the password for the client node you specified with the nodename option.
