I have tested restoring partial data from a backup set. It appears that I
am limited to how far down the path I can restore from.
For example,
I can successfully restore:
tsm> restore backupset bksettape.43448461 \\adsmtst\c$\program files
However, when I try to restore the following:
tsm> restore backupset bksettape.43448461 \\adsmtst\c$\program
files\microsoft office\clipart
I receive the following error:
ANS1102E Excessive number of command line arguments passed to the program!
Explanation: This command processing routine received more operands than it
can use. Query can contain only one file specification. Restore and
Retrieve can contain two file specifications. Archive, Delete, and
Selective can contain a maximum of 20 file specifications.
System Action: Processing stopped.
User Response: Reduce the number of arguments and retry the operation. For
UNIX-based systems, ensure that you do not omit the quotes around pattern
matching characters.
My question is: Am I LIMITED to how specific (how far down the path) my
restore is? It appears that I can only specify 2 arguments (c$\folder).

Marc,
Here is an example of how to restore a single file from a backupset.
Hope this helps.

Hi Joerg & *SMers,
What would be a sample syntax of the partial restore command? I have since
tried restoring a client via command line and can only restore the FULL
Restore.
Here is what I am typing to try to get one file restored from the backup
set:
BACKUPSET=BKSETTAPE.43448461
CLIENT=ADSMTST
TSM>restore backupset bksettape.43448461 sourcefilespec c:
\winnt\cookies\mm2048.dat
I have also tried:
TSM>restore backupset bksettape.43448461 sourcefilespec \\adsmtst\c
$\winnt\cookies\mm2048.dat
do I have to type "sourcefilespec"?
ALSO:
If I wanted to restore the entire cookies directory, what would the syntax
be? (...cookies\ or ..cookies\* or ..cookies\...\* )
Any help would be appreciated.

Marc, see my previous append - you CAN restore an individual file using the
CLI (NOT the GUI nor the Web Client). You are correct in that you can
generate a backupset and specify the filespace(s) you want to have included
in the backup set.

>From my understanding, no. A backupset is a flat file (.ost). It will be
restored in it's entirety. However I do believe that you can define what
filespace the Backupset originally backs up. In other words, you can
backup only what you want to. Hope this helps.

Is it possible to restore a single from from a backupset without restoring
the entire set?
