Got it..... My bad....
I thought that the 'command line interface" was running from the server section of the software not the client. But now I see in /usr/bin: dsmadmc -> /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmadmc as opposed to dsmfmt -> /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/dsmfmt Thanks for the clarification Dave Zarnoch Nationwide Provident [EMAIL PROTECTED] Andrew Raibeck <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU OM> cc: Sent by: "ADSM: Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] redirect output in readable format Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] .EDU> 01/31/2006 10:32 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" I don't understand this question: > Sooooooo.......I need to upgrade the "client" on the "server"? Can you elaborate on what you mean by "client" on the "server"? You are using the program dsmadmc.exe that is packaged with the backup-archive client, riiiiiiiight? You need to use an admin command line interface that supports the -dataonly=yes option, as Richard pointed out. The machine on which you run the admin interface is immaterial. Note that 4.2 is long out of support. You should get your clients updated to more current levels.

The command line is your friend. "Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
