Alex,
In short, you cannot restore to different platforms. You must restore with
the same platform and filesystem as you backed up with. There are some
exceptions like the FAT filesystem working across the PC world but with Unix
you are going to be stuck restoring back to another HPUX machine.
My soloution would be to restore to the original machine and ftp the data
over to the PC or "other" machine.

Subject: Cross-Platform Retrieves
Hello ADSM gurus;
{My apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but I am new to this
list, the searchable archive does not seem to have the answer, and I am
in a bit of a hurry.}
Client for HP-UX v310
Client for Win-32 v31-0.8
Server for MVS v31-2.50
I can not seem to retrieve an archive made from an HP-UX (unix) client
into the Win-32 client. I can see the top level structure, but I can
not see or retrieve any files. GUI vs Command Line - same deal. This
does seem to work if I attempt the retrieve from a different HP-UX
client. (The archive is large; 9,000 files in 7gb, but I tried with
something smaller and got the same results.)
Any ideas? I wonder about file naming conflicts, such as "slash" vs
"backslash", or filespace issues, but I know very, very little about
ADSM. (I'm just a user, being forced to give up space on the HP-UX
machine and, ultimately, move it somewhere else. My time constraint is
that I need to confirm archive integrity before I give up the HP-UX
machine.) Thank you.
Alex Sokolek
