From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager on behalf of Thomas Denier When we see this kind of problem at our site it is frequently the result of using the wrong account. Under Unix, retrieving or even listing archived files normally requires being either root or the owner of the files. I think there are analogous rules for Windows, but I couldn't find any discussion of this point in the Windows client manual.
<sound of hollow laughter> I deal with the Lovecraftian intersection of TSM and Windows permissions regularly. Yes, there are such issues with Windows. My favorite is the (default) use of the Windows SYSTEM system ID to run the TSM scheduler service, and the fact that there are a number of Windows administrators that normally strip SYSTEM of any permissions anywhere for anything. (Hint, guys: there are *no* security-based needs to do that.) Not only will a scheduled backup not back up any files that such stripping has been performed upon, TSM won't even know such files exist. Hence, they don't get backed up and no one notices that until an attempted restore occurs. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED])> Office 262.521.5627
