For either Windows or UNIX clients, I think this is the simplest way:
Log in to NODEC.
If this is Windows, open a DOS type command window
CD to the TSM client program directory:
cd c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient
Start the backup client with the -virtualnodename parm:
dsm -virtualnodename=NODEB
virtualnodename means you are "pretending" to be NODEB.
The TSM client will open as usual, but it will prompt you for the TSM
password for NODEB.
Click the RESTORE button
The file tree of backup versions you see displayed will be for NODEB.
Select the files you want restored.
You MUST specify an output destination, not just "restore to original
location" (because the UNC names for NODEB don't match NODEC)
That's it.
If it's something you do frequently, you can set up a Windows shortcut so
that you don't have to open the DOS window and cd to the directory to get
started.
For UNIX the process is similar, just change the path name as appropriate.
Don't know if virtualnodename is available for every client - don't know
about NOVELL, for instance.
