Re: help, cannot restore files...
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.

Re: help, cannot restore files...
place {} around the filesystem. This denotes the filespace in which tsm
will look.
example:
files in /usr/local/bin/newapp.
filesystem actually is /usr/local
you would specify,
{/usr/local}/bin/newapp
hope that is clear as mud.

Joni,
Specify the filesystem with brackets and then include the subdir
after
Dsmc q backup {/p01/app/ibm/was/appserver}/node01/userstuff.

Re: 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? Thanks again!

Which user are you? Being able to see but not restore files sometimes can mean that you are not a privileged enough user to restore the data. TSM file restores adhere to unix file permissions.
