ANS1302E No objects on server match query I am going to ask the client if it the "2010122" could have been backed up on any other day. If not I will eliminate the PIT parameter. regards -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Huebschman, George J.

You could eliminate the PIT parameter altogether. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Hughes, Timothy Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2011 10:55 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] restore string syntax question (solaris) Thanks, But if I use the point of time date 12/21/10 will that still get me only the string "2010122"? with the date 12/20/2010 because the client wants the 12/20/10 date regards -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Huebschman, George J.
