Hi, Not sure either if this apar has been solved, but the web page give a solution to the problem : "Rename the filespace back to its original name to regain access to this data from the client.". Thus in the case of a restore request, you would just have to rename the current filespace name to xxx_current and rename the freezed one to the current one ... Has to be tested though !
Two other means I could think of : rename the VM in ESX, and do a backup with the new name, then name it back to original name. Or, a much more complicated approach : make use of another target node name, same style than this : http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688752 Cheers.

Doing so will allow to keep your old VM backup data freezed. Cheers.

However, I must not have made myself clear. We need something more akin to the backupset. Freeze a backup while allowing further backups to take place afterward. Are these allowed on an individual vm? -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Mark Beta Sent: Friday, May 05, 2017 7:12 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] freezing a final backup of a vm Hello Gary, take a look @ http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21659826. If you have tdp for ve 7.1 or upper, the vm last backup will stay until "expire vm" command will be executed. Regards.
