Hey Matthew, Thanks for the extracts below; they both look good. By command line, I meant the administrative command line dsmadmc; you can logon to it using a TSM account with system privileges and run the "RESTORE NODE" command (run a help restore node from the dsmadmc window for more info). You made use of virtual file space mappings during the NDMP backup; the restore command will look like "RESTORE NODE NETAPP_NODE SOURCE_VIRTUALFSMAP DESTINATION_VIRTUALFSMAP wait=yes"
>>> The user actually wants to restore the data of a normal node to a space on this NetApp filer; I'm guessing this isn't impossible? <<< Yes you can restore the data of a normal node (using your regular baclient) to a space on this NetApp filer; one way to do this is to make use of cifs shares and perform the restore to the cifs share (you have to make sure the account you use to perform the restore has write privileges to the cifs share) location under "restore to Following Location in baclient restore GUI" (\\NETAPP_FILER\VOLUME_NAME\CIFS_SHARE for instance) Good luck.
