I have no problem using the Gui for full backupset restores. Is windows2000 picking up the drive as tape1? Remote Storage in win2000 always starts with Tape0.
As for the command prompts below you only need the backupset name if you are attached to the TSM Server and doing the restore. #4 is the one I tried (using single quotes) and the tape drive is accessed and accessed with no restore (but I only left it for 20 minutes - maybe a longer time is req'd). I would suggest tying the gui again, maybe check remote storage to see if something is wrong there. Possible driver problem?? Window's drivers are not always usable.

I was told by support that GUI won't support using a local tape drive to restore from a backupset. Command line should work. But not for me. These are what I have tried: 1) restore backupset \\.\Tape1 backupset_name -loc=tape 2) restore backupset \\.\Tape1\ backupset_name -loc=tape 3) restore backupset \\.\Tape1 \\nodename\c$\file_name -loc=tape 4) restore backupset \\.\Tape1 "\\nodename\c$\file_name" -loc=tape 5) restore backupset \\.\Tape1\ \\nodename\c$\file_name -loc=tape 6) restore backupset \\.\Tape1\ "\\nodename\c$\file_name" -loc=tape 7) restore backupset \\.\Tape1 \\nodename\c$\* -loc=tape 8) restore backupset \\.\Tape1 "\\nodename\c$\*" -loc=tape 9) restore backupset \\.\Tape1\ \\nodename\c$\* -loc=tape 10) restore backupset \\.\Tape1\ "\\nodename\c$\*" -loc=tape I can actually see that the light on the tape drive is blinking, indicating some activity. But After a few minitues, I would get "ANS1933E, Error accessing file or device ''." My client is 4.1 on a win2000 machine and server is 4.1.3 on AIX4.3.3. I am testing using a 8mm tape drive. Tivoli support told me that 8mm and DLT are supported tape device (not LTO). any idea?

My understanding of restoration from backupsets is that you cannot use wildcards to restore anything. You either have to restore specfic files (using a full directory tree), or you can restore the entire backupset's load, but nothing inbetween. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
