Hi Tom,
Unfortunately, Tivoli's ability to restore the registry is very limited.
I have not known it to work very well because the objects needed to restore
the registry properly are normally in use by the OS. However, one excellent
workaround that I have found is to use the native windows backup from
"Start","Programs","Accessories","System Tools","Backup" to create a
scheduled backup of the registry. Make sure that when you set this up, you
set the option to backup the registry after every system startup. This will
make sure that you have a good backup of the last good bootable registry
configuration. Also, make sure that the registry backup is saved to a
location on the hard drive that gets backed up by Tivoli, this way if the
entire drive is lost or is not bootable, when you restore from Tivoli, you
will then be able to use the native windows backup to restore the registry.
I know that this does not help with your current situation. All I can
suggest regarding that, is double-check that you are selecting the system
object only for the restore. Tivoli cannot restore the system object and
files simultaneously.

Subject: can't restore Windows Registry
Hello List!
I have an Problem in restoring the Registry on an Windows NT Server.
We use :
TSM Server ver 5.1.6.1 on Solaris 8
TSM Client ver 5.1.5.9 on Windows NT 4 Server
Thats my dsm.opt on the Client :
DOMAIN -D:
DOMAIN -F:
DOMAIN C:
BACKUPREG YES
TCPSERVERADDRESS tsmsrv
Exclude.File "C:\pagefile.sys"
Exclude.File "c:\WINNT\system32\config\default"
Exclude.File "c:\WINNT\system32\config\default.LOG"
Exclude.File "c:\WINNT\system32\config\SAM"
Exclude.File "c:\WINNT\system32\config\SAM.LOG"
Exclude.File "c:\WINNT\system32\config\SECURITY"
Exclude.File "c:\WINNT\system32\config\SECURITY.LOG"
Exclude.File "c:\WINNT\system32\config\software"
Exclude.File "c:\WINNT\system32\config\software.LOG"
Exclude.File "c:\WINNT\system32\config\system"
Exclude.File "c:\WINNT\system32\config\SYSTEM.ALT"
When I trigger the Backup through the Client GUI the Backup works fine and
I also can restore the Registry!
But if I create an Scheduler the Files are also Backuped but i can't restore
them!
If I try to restore the Registry, I get the following Error Message : "No
objects on server match query"
Any Ideas ??
bye
Tom
