If you mean just getting "some" data from server2 to server1, until you have a chance to rebuild server2:
1) Log in to server1 2) CD c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient 3) start dsm.exe this way: dsm -virtualnodename=server2 4) A box will pop up with the name server2, asking for server2's password. 5) OVERTYPE the server2 name with your admin id, and your admin password 6) The file tree that pops up will be the TSM inventory for server2 7) point and click to choose the files you want to restore 8) you MUST specify "restore to other location", not "restore to original location". That's it. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JR Trimark Sent: Friday, October 21, 2005 9:23 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: JR- Restoring to a different server We are backing up 2 servers using TSM 5.2, server1 and server2 (OS for both servers will be the same and we have the following operating systems in our environment: NW, Windows, AIX, Linux). Scenario: Server2 crashes and needs to be completely rebuilt. 3rd party bare metal restore/imaging products are excluded for this scenario. Question: How do I restore server2 data to server1 without having to rebuild server2 first? thanks
