This has worked for me in the past similar crcumstance. To Restore a node file for example that is no longer backed up by TSM
*Create a new dsm.opt changeing the node name to afs200 file eg dsm.opt.afs200 then change the original to dsm.opt.old and change the afs200 one to dsm.opt. *Fire up GUI *FILE > Connection info make sure in this case it says AFS200 your tSM password will do *Then restore to c:\temp for example *Once complete change dsm.opt files around * Should be all done :) Cheers -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thando Ndaba Sent: Thursday, 23 December 2004 4:08 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Hi TSMers I am running TSM 5.2 on Aix 5.2 backing up Oracle 9i via TDP for oracle and rman.
