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

Restoring or Retrieving Your Files to Another Workstation

Tivoli Storage Manager lets you restore or retrieve files you back up from your own workstation, when you are using a different workstation. You just need to specify 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 workstation, either change the nodename option in your TSM System Preferences file to match the current workstation, or type it in when prompted for the nodename and password. You can then restore or retrieve files as if you were working on your original workstation.

If you do not want to restore or retrieve the files to the same folder name on the alternate workstation, use a different destination.

You can have only one TSM System Preferences file with multiple nodename options. See Creating Multiple User Preferences Files for more information.
