Command to check a running restore.

[ebisoba]

I swear either q restore or q pro allowed me to see running restores before but now both of these commands don't show running restore sessions. Am I going crazy?

If you are talking about client restore,
q restore is valid only for restartable restores (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...restart-2.html)

Use q session for any type of client restore.

If you are talking about internal TSM restore processes (restore stgpool/volume), q pro will show them.

OK thanks, it's a client restore. Is there a way to tell the difference between a restore and a backup using q ses? I'm not seeing any difference between the sessions.

On a restore, look at "Bytes_Sent"
On a backup, look at "Bytes_Recvd"

Also, if your backing up to a sequential media, the volume will be opened in RW. If restoring, in RO.
