It sounds as though an older version of a file was restored, then later a newer version of the same file was attempted. Were you doing a Point in Time restore?

Wondering if anyone else has ever seen this scenario: We had a 2003 windows server that died last week. Got a new 2008 server this week. Did the restore for the 'user' drive for all their data. (Used the TSM gui to do the restore. TSM client version 6.1.2). But during the restore about 4 hours into it, we got the prompt to 'replace the existing file?' message for one of the files that was being restored. Now because this is a brand new server that never had any user data on it, why would we get prompted this message? Before we started the restore, we did not choose any of the restore options for the replacing,etc, because it was a brand new server, i didn't think this was necessary to do. anyone know why this happened?? thanks. ____________________ Jeannie Bruno Systems Analyst jbr...@cenhud.com 284 South Ave. Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 845-486-5780 This message contains confidential information and is only for the intended recipient.
