Eric, You cannot do this. You must log on to the TSM Server under the NODENAME that performed the backups. The "Direct Query" function in version 1 worked the same way. It allowed you to query a specific server and database name, but the NODENAME queried was always the one logged in to. Data Protection for SQL made it easier in version 2 and above... Now, the tree view will handle this automatically for you. That is, when you log into NODENAME_X, it will show you the SQL Servers and databases that were backed up under NODENAME_X. The tree view will have the SQL Server name at the high-level view, which you can then expand to get to the database names. Bill's idea is one technique that some customers use.
