Re: Scheduled Restore

     Oh yes, I've choked that one down before... was hack'n and ack'n for a
     few days from it...

     1) make sure you've done your "set access" from one box for the other
     box!

     2) both boxes have to be backed up by the same ADSM server 'cause you
     can't make a scheduler jump over to a different server

     3) just set up the scheduled event of the restore just as you would
     from the command line, using the "-Fromnode=nodename" option and
     remember you MUST use the destinationfilespecification here...

     4)

     and they have to be of the same platform... that is you can't restore
     a unix file to an NT machine, yada, yada, yada...

     Might I ask, are you just doing as I was and giving it that Ol'
     make-or-break test ?

     Trust me you really don't want to try to document some procedure on
     this for helpdesk folks to use, that is if you require more than 6
     hours sleep every YEAR!

     later,
           Dwight

Hi, thanks!
We do them successfully from the command line too, but now I have a need to
use the ADSM Scheduler to do a scheduled restore from one client to
another.. have you ever done it using the scheduler?
Thanks,
Julie

Restoring files from a Netware client to a Netware client has been done
successfully here at Liberty.....

If I wanted nodename NETWARE111, volume TEST, to go to nodename
NETWARE222, volume DATA....

From the original nodename where the data is from (NETWARE111) I would
do the following command at the prompt on the Netware server itself:

        Load sys:adsm\dsmc restore NETWARE111\TEST:* -latest
NETWARE222\DATA

This will send it to the correct location.  I put latest because I am
assuming you would need the most recent version.

Hope this helps!  Feel free to contact me if you need anything else!

Jenn
