Restore single file from image backup

All, I've been waiting for Tivoli to provide individual file restores from an image backup in Windows. According to the latest 5.3.4 BA client it is still not an option. Andy, can you confirm? Thanks, Brian Brian Scott EDS Global Client Engineering-GM MS 3234 4594 W Nancy Dr. Kankakee, IL 60

Re: Weekly, Monthly, Yearly Selectives

Thanks to all for your suggestions. Because the new GM data retention policy calls for true full backups I've elected to use Selective backups to be scheduled in a weekly, monthly, and yearly fashion. To make matters worse this is for a cluster server so I created separate client scheduler, accept

Weekly, Monthly, Yearly Selectives

Fellow TSM'rs, I have been tasked to provide a backup schedule to provide weekly, monthly, and yearly full backups for a 5 year duration. The weekly would be retained for a month, monthly for a year, and yearly for 5 years. I've created separate policies, nodenames, etc. to keep the policy rete

Marshael, The User's Guide is accurate except for one crucial piece. When you setup the dsm.sys for the BA client make sure to use the IP or loopback address of the Storage Agent for the LANFREETCPServeraddress setting. The User's Guide shows a domain name for a separate machine which is incorrect
