hmmm, at least on AIX, TSM backups by mount point, so TSM should have it under: /p01/app/ibm/was/appserver
If it was backed up, then umounted, it may be set inactive try: q backup -inact=yes "dir structure" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joni Moyer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 3:00 PM Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] help, cannot restore files...
Hi Ben, I would think the same thing too, but it still doesn't work. Here is what I can see: Location where data resides and was backed up from: /p01/app/ibm/was/appserver and then it goes to the subdir of /node01/.../.../... The only problem is that when a restore is attempted it says it cannot find any matches, but I can physically see the data within the TSM client. It just won't let me restore it. Here is how it is mounted on the linux server: chln793|/p01/app/ibm/was/appserver> df -k | grep appserver /dev/mapper/datavg1-appserverlv 17546044 9112708 8255080 53% /p01/app/ibm/was/appserver I guess I'm confused why it won't restore the data. I don't see any links to this data. The only thing is that from the TSM server I do see a file system that used to exist: /p01/app/ibm/was/appserver/node01 and I'm not sure if this is causing a conflict with the restore or not? Any ideas?

Here is a guess Check for links in the directory path. TSM will not follow links by default. Usually when I can't see something down a path, there ends up being a link (hard or soft) in the path. Once you find the ~real~ location of the data you should be able to restore it.

Hello everyone, I am trying to restore files for a Linux server, TSM client 5.3.3.0. Apparently the file system: /p01/app/ibm/was/appserver/node01 file system no longer exists on this system and no data was ever backed up under this directory, but there IS a file system called: /p01/app/ibm/was/appserver and this file system contains a subdirectory called node01 and this IS where the data had been backed up under. When doing a restore from the command line and from the Client GUI it says that No files match the query but I can see them down the /p01/app/ibm/was/appserver file system under the /node01 subdirectory. Any suggestions on what can be done so that I can get this data to restore to /tmp? Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks! ******************************** Joni Moyer Highmark Storage Systems, Storage Mngt Analyst III Phone Number: (717)302-9966 Fax: (717) 302-9826 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************
