Hi Gary, 1. There should be no comma between the domain name and the schedule name.
2. You need to specify action=restore as part of the schedule definition; the default action is incremental. 3. I assume you are specifying valid date and times in the -pitdate and -pittime options. 4. You can remove the -inac option as it is redundant. This is because inactive objects are implicit with point-in-time restore. 3. Because the file specification contains embedded blanks, I suggest you append an asterisk to the end of the directory specification; surround the file specification in double quotation marks; and then surround the double-quoted file specification with single quotes, like this: Obj='"e:\Shared\INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SERVICES\scanned_sunapsis_files\*"' Best regards, Andy ____________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Raibeck | IBM Spectrum Protect Level 3 | stor...@us.ibm.com IBM Tivoli Storage Manager links: Product support: https://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/product/tivoli/tivoli_storage_manager Online documentation: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7/landing/welcome_ssgsg7.html Product Wiki: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home/wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> wrote on 2017-01-19 11:12:41: > From: "Lee, Gary" <g...@bsu.edu> > To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU > Date: 2017-01-19 11:13 > Subject: trouble with scheduled restore > Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> > > Trying to restore a subdirectory to a server. > > Cannot use GUI as it is java and does not work well with screen > readers for the blind. > Have restore scheduled, but it fails as follows: > > 01/19/2017 11:00:26 ANS1102E An excessive number of command line > arguments are passed to the program. > > Schedule is > > Def sch domain, sch-name - > Opt="-pitdate=date -pitt=time -inac" - > Obj='e:\Shared\INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SERVICES\scanned_sunapsis_files\' > > How to solve this? > > Server version 6.3.4.0 > Client version 6.3.2 > Os windows 2008 >
