You can then redirect this to a file and maniplulate it all you want. Using the line command you can also start it with the -VIRTUALNODENAME= and get this information from any nodename you want. Will even give you backup information for TDP agent nodenames. The format of the entrie names is dependant on the TDP agent and might not mean much, but you'll still get dates.

You can do the same thing with the command line, although it's not nearly as handy: dsmc restore /* -subdir=yes -ina -pick This will create a scrollable list that contains much of the information you're looking for. You can, of course, be more selective with the file designator so that you don't have to scroll through hundreds of screens to get the information you're after. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Berbee Information Networks Office 262.521.5627
