I don't know what "restore gen or gem backupset" is, but I used:
dsmc restore backupset backupsetname.xxxxxxxx "\\server\d$\directories\subdirectory\another subdir\and another\really long file name so the whole path requires quotes.xls" c:\temp\ This normally works with no other -switches. My problem is that it starts the restore by building the folders in the c:\temp and then hangs, I've waited 28 hours before canceling. I can use the same line with *.xls and it starts to restore some of the other Excel files from the backupset but stops when it reaches the specific file that I need. My question is this, is there any other switch that I can use to create a log or watch file so I can get more information on the restore backupset job? Or is there something else that I can try assuming that the tape has a bad spot or section on it? Any help is appreciated.

Force an overwrite for this object 2. Force an overwrite on all objects that are write protected 3 .Skip this object 4. Skip all the objects that are write protected A. Abort this operation Action (1,2,3,4,A): I first type 2 but continue to ask me again and again till I choose the option 4. I thought if I put -rep=all It will not ask for anything or at least if I chose option 2 once it will continue , but no .................... Any ideas !!!!!!!!!!!!! T.I.A Regards Robert Ouzen
