Hello Joe If I understand your question, you are using a one time backup on a extra instance of a tsm server just for this restore. To keep only one node's data on a tape set the Collacate parm on the tape storage pool to the value YES. Or if you have a number of large filespaces per node, you can set it to FILespace. len ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leonard Boyle [EMAIL PROTECTED] SAS Institute Inc. ussas4hs@ibmmail Room RB448 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 SAS Campus Drive (919) 531-6241 Cary NC 27513
