Re: Restoring the oldest version

2004-08-02 Thread Warren, Matthew (Retail)
If you are restoring into filesystems that are the same size as those
that were backed up, this could result in more data being restored than
there is space available, as TSM will also restore every file it has
backed up that has been deleted from the server.


The only way I can think of doing this (off the top of my head) is to
process the output of a 
 Q ba /filesapce/* -subdir=y -ina
And build a list of candidate files, then restore that using dsmc's
-filelist option

Subject: Restoring the oldest version

A customer wants restored the oldest version of every fileTSM has for a
certain node. What's the best way to do this?

Example:
If there is only one copy of a file and it is active, they want that
one.
If there are 2 inactives and 1 active, they want the oldest inactive.

Thanks,
David
