Dumping the table is what I'd like to do, but I don't want to occupy the simple database under TSM for the time that it seems like this could take. I used the gui to get an estimate the largest, most files node and it returned 990K objects (both files and directories?) and estimated 105 hours to do a restore of the data. That's a long time.
