Shane,
My task was just evaluating a full disk restore with data saved  from an
operational  machine to a backup machine in case of crash or hardware
failure.
So we don't plan to schedule restores like this other than for test.
With the suggestion from Trevor I managed to make the filespace field
 visible to the server with the lowercase "users" .
This  was achived  with a restore ...........{"users"}\path_dir\filename.
Just putting into " "   the filespace name.

Thanks anyaway  for your input.

Riccardo

Riccardo,

We do the same thing, but on OS/2, using ADSM V3.

For some reason we had the opposite problem, where the ADSM scheduler would
not backup from one machine to another, but the command line worked fine.
Ultimately, I wrote a small REXX program that does the schedule restore
operation.

You must make sure that the disk labels on both the source and the
destination machine are identical.

The following command is run on the destination machine:-

rest -rep=yes -subdir=yes -fromn=source x:\*.*

where:-

rest
is the restore command (d'oh)

-rep=yes
replace files on destination server if they are changed in the source
replace files on destination server if they are changed in the source
server

-subd=yes
do subdirectories
do subdirectories

-fromn=source
u gotta tell the destination machine where the files comes from
u gotta tell the destination machine where the files comes from

x:\*.*
the destination hard drive where the files are to go

Don't forget to let ADSM know that the destination machine has permission
to get files from the source machine.

If you need to restore more than one drive, you will need to run a second
command with the different drive. If you want, I'll send u the REXX code (u
can run Personal REXX on NT that should work same as the OS/2 REXX).
