The key is the device config file. The devclass is defined there with the directory path. Volume name is only the file name part. Example: to restore DB from the file c:\tsmfiles\dev_file\12345678.DBB you need following dsmserv restore db dev=file vol=12345678.DBB and devclass named FILE with directory=c:\tsmfiles\dev_file defined in the devcnfg.out If you restore on the same server (and device config file is fine) restore from same devclass used for backup and using only filename.ext part as volume name/ If you restore in DR (assuming there is no valid device config) - start the server with default empty DB, define a devclass with directory=<dir part of DBB file path>, halt the server, "dsmserv restore db dev=<new devclass name> vol=<filename.ext part of DBB path>"
