Alex, If the tape is truly "bad", first audit that tape (audit vol xxx fix=yes); if you just want to skip past that tape, one "trick" I've used is to force classic restore -- nqr won't skip "unavailable" tapes, classic will (or it used to in the v 3.1 timeframe)... To force "classic" restore, spe

I assume you mean the "dsmc sched" process on the (Unix) client; that is the daemon used for running scheduled commands... unless you are defining schedule on the server for doing the restore, it's not relevant (right?!). OTOH, it sounds like maybe you *are* running the restore using a client sch

I am running TSM version 5.1.0 on a Windows 2000 server. When I try to backup Novell Directory Services tree on my Netware 5.1 server, it fails. The error log says that the License object cannot be accessed. Does anyone know how to exclude NDS license objects from backup? I also see following error

The devclass option is there to specify what sort of device you want the backup to goto. In our environment for example we have an IBM 3494 library so I state devclass: "3590dev" and it directs my backup to media belonging to that devclass. Below is the a procedure I typed up for backing it

That is the command. However, after you run any backup database command you should run a: backup volhistory This will dump the volume history of the database to a sequential file. That file can be used to figure out what tapes to mount to recover the database if the database gets destroy

If there's a true problem with that tape, TSM should mark it as "unavailable" and pick up the backup storage pool tape copy. Make sure your backup storage pool tape copy is set to read only: "q vol vol_name f=d" on backup storage pool tape copy. --Justin Alexander

Tapes marked unavailable usually just need to be marked available (and possibly checked back into the library). I suggest setting it to readonly, for now. If the msg you got is "waiting for files from the server..." that just indicates no-query-restore is invoked, the client will be receiving all
