Joe, it took me 1 hour and 28 minutes to restore a 264k text file when I did it. Have you ever seen how long it takes to list the contents of a backup set. Remember, the file you are trying to restore from a backupset was backed up as a complete filespace, but it is possible to extract one file if you are using command line. I have not seen this possible in the GUI interface. On my test I didn't use quotes or the -loc parameter. Also note, I specified the filename (did not use an *) I was trying to restore.
Hope this helps, Mark -----Original Message----- From: Joe Cascanette [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 9:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Backupset Restore Nope, didnt work. It started the restore, but the bytes indictor stayed at zero and nothing was restored. I left it for over 10 minutes just to make sure.

The tape is accessed, and prompt shows the correct node name, and also a counter of bytes transferred. However this counter stays at zero. I am able to use the GUI to restore the WHOLE backup set with no problems. Using 4.2.0 NT client on the restore server and the production server. Server is 4.2.1.6 NT Using restore command: dsmc restore backupset \\.\tape0 \\qbssnf11\c$\progra~1\* -loc=tape It starts to restore, but the indictor is sitting at zero. I went to see if the program files directory was being appended to and it was not. I also searched the ADSM.org and used some of their suggestions with no luck Anything wrong with the above command?
