The simplest way I know of:
Go to the NT machine you want to restore to.
Start the GUI client with a parm:
dsm -virtualnodename=name-of-machine-restoring-from
You can do this by starting from a DOS window (cd into the baclient
subdirectory first).
Or you can change the Windows properties of the GUI to include the parm.
You will be prompted for the password of the machine you are restoring FROM
Then what you see when the GUI opens is the file tree showing the backups of
the machine you specified as VIRTUALNODENAME.
Because you are restoring to a machine other than the one that was backed
up, I believe you will have to select a DESTINATION for the things you
restore, even if you are just going back to the C: drive. f you just
specify "restore to orginal location", you will get a very obtuse error
message, because the UNC names of the receiving machine don't match the UNC
name of the machine that was backed up.

Subject: restore/retrieve in different server ** HELP **
Dear Doctor ADSM,
Help!
I have tried this several times and wasted hours!! But still cannot get it
to work.
I am convinced that my installation is wrong, or I am totally stupid!!!
Can someone please give a simple blow by blow account of what I should be
seeing... I am desperate to perform a restore to another NT node from the
GUI..
If you can help me get to the bottom of this, I will take you to a local pub
and buy you a superb local beer... problem is, you have to come to London
for it!!!
Many Thanks in anticipation
Tony

What are you trying to restore?
If you use the GUI you should be able to go to File, Logon and put in the
server name of the server you want to restore FROM and it's ID and password,
just like you were logging on to it. When you open up your Restore window
you will see the server you want to restore from at the top. Open the
directory tree and select the files you want and then pick Following
Location for the Restore Destination Window and select where to put them.
Be careful about the choice you make for the restore directory structure.
It can be done from the command line too using the -fromnode option, but I'm
having problems with that myself right now.
Good luck , hope this helped.

Hi All
I am current running TSM Version 4, Release 1, Level 1.0 with NT 4 and I
would like to
know how I should proceed to execute a restore or retrieve in a different
server
from whose the original backup was made.
Thanks
