Under the Unix clients there are 2 files that are nessasary. You need both the dsm.sys and the dsm.opt. At a minimum you'll need the server name in the dsm.sys on all Unix clients. The reasoning behind it all is because Unix is a multiuser system unlike NT. Each user could customize thier own d

Exchange Mailbox restores

We recently moved to exchange and have implemented the TDP for Exchange. It works fine but managment is concerened of the fact that we cannot do individual mailbox restores like we were able to do in Notes. I am aware that there is no Microsoft API that allows this (or am I wrong). I've read ab

This file should be created when you perform the "dsmserv format" of your log and database volumes. However I do agree that the quick start guide lacks clarity in more than one area. -Original Message- From: Lawrence Clark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 02, 2000 8:32 AM

Re: Cross-Platform Retrieves

Alex, In short, you cannot restore to different platforms. You must restore with the same platform and filesystem as you backed up with. There are some exceptions like the FAT filesystem working across the PC world but with Unix you are going to be stuck restoring back to another HPUX machine.
