Well, I only know of two ways to get data from one machine back to
     another...
     EITHER
        as root change the "node blah" statement in your dsm.sys file and
        "pretend" to be that other system when you connect to adsm
     OR
        from the actual machine perform "set access" commands to grant
        access to another node.
        NOTE: the person granting the access needs to be
                the owner of the backup (which is the owner of the file)
                the owner of the archive (ye' who performed the archive)
                or the special owner of all (root)

     later,
           Dwight

Apologies in advance if this question is very stupid, and the answer very
obvious ....

My customer wants to duplicate their SAP R/3 production data to another system,
for the dreaded Year 2000 testing. At
present we have five on-line (BACKINT), and one off-line backup (ADSM) per
week. Now, I know with ADSM you can restore
one node's backup to another node - but can you do this with BACKINT?

Secondary question, how can we do this? I'm presuming that the destination
system would have to pretend to be the
production system for the purposes of the restore - or maybe there's a better
way.

Thanks O great and knowledgable ones.

(I suppose I could always contact BACKINT support ....)
