See output below: Object name '\\drs01\e$\new copy1\copy1\data\HC- N\hcn pfu and gc\HCN pfu and gc\pfu\PFU3F9' contains one or more unrecognized characters and is not valid. Object name '\\drs01\e$\new copy1\copy1\data\li- ning cells\lcfor 18s\SBLCS25T7' contains one or more unrecognized characters and is not valid. Original Location data\lining cells\lcfor 18s data\HCN\hcn pfu and gc\HCN pfu and gc\pfu You will notice fro the above that TSM has changed the folder names for HCN and lining cells on the restore. I have logged a call with Tivoli support. In the meantime I was wondering if anyone has a clue about how this could happen. I have performed another back /restore and it all worked ok. I even performed one with the changed folder names to establish if TSM could pick up a folder name with those characters. All went well. I have the feeling this is just a fluke. It's not that serious as this was just a test. My worry is, it happened once so it could happen again in a non test environnent. TIA Toni
