Matthew This APAR might shed some light, although I think it is going to be a case of working as designed.
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IC35332 Your extract from the dsmsched.log might be from the system_object(W2K) / system_state(W2K3) backup, not part of the actual incremental C: drive file backup. Was it in the section between the following Incremental backup of volume '\\lons111013\c$' Successful incremental backup of '\\lons111013\c$' Or before this Successful incremental backup of 'System State' (or system_object w2k). If the entry in the log shows it as part of the system backup, you won't be able to restore it individually.

Problem is that the GUI won't display any directory deeper than eu.rabonet.com and the command line says there's nothing to restore, even if I state an inactive version of that file. I've opened a call with IBM, but I was just wondering if anyone's seen this behaviour before? Clients are 5.2.4.4 and the TSM server is 5.2.7.1 on W2K3 Thanks, Matthew TSM Consultant ADMIN ITI Rabobank International 1 Queenhithe, London EC4V 3RL 0044 207 809 3665 _____________________________________________________________ This email (including any attachments to it) is confidential, legally privileged, subject to copyright and is sent for the personal attention of the intended recipient only.
