Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide
The retrieve command obtains copies of archived files from the
Tivoli Storage Manager server. You can retrieve specific files or
entire directories. Use the description option to specify
the descriptions assigned to the files you want to retrieve.
You can also use the pick option to display a list of your
archives. From this list, you can select an archive to retrieve.
Retrieve the files into the same directory from which they were
archived, or in a different directory. Tivoli Storage Manager uses the
preservepath option with the subtree value as the
default for restoring files. For more information, see Chapter 10, "Using Options with Commands".
- Note:
- If you are retrieving files to a different directory than the original
directory, file names become the names you specify with the
destinationfilespec parameter. Because only DOS names are
valid within the client, the file name becomes a DOS name.

For information about common options you can use with the
retrieve command, see Chapter 9, Using Processing Options.
- sourcefilespec
- Specifies the path and file name that you want to retrieve. Use
wildcard characters to specify a group of files or all the files in a
directory. See Maximum File Size for Operations for the maximum file size for retrieve processing.
- DIRectory or NDS
- Retrieves the NDS.
- destinationfilespec
- Specifies the path and file name where you want to retrieve the
files to. The path and file name must follow DOS naming
conventions. If you do not specify a destination, Tivoli Storage
Manager restores the files to the original source path.
Examples

last character of the destination. If you omit the delimiter and your
specified source is a directory or a file spec with a wildcard, you will
receive an error.
