You will not see a directory structure for a backupset - This is one of =
the
features that I do not like about backupsets - another is that it is =
not
automated as far as being able to reclaim the tapes back - you have to
manually keep track of it - Anyway, the following is some help on this:


Restoring Data from Backup Sets

You can restore the files that you backed up to the TSM server from =
backup
sets. Your TSM administrator creates backup sets from your active files =
on
the server.=20

Backup sets are written in a format that can be read directly by the =
client.
If a backup set is created on a device that is supported by the TSM =
server
and your client machine, then you can take the backup set volumes to =
your
client machine and restore your data directly from the locally attached
device. Alternatively, you can restore a backup set directly from the
server. =20

Examples of supported media devices are: tape, CD-ROM drives, removable =
disk
drives like JAZ drives and ZIP drives. These tape devices are =
supported:
DLT, 4mm, 8mm, 3590, and 3570.=20

Contact your TSM administrator to find out how often backup sets are =
created
and what devices are supported.=20

You might want to restore data from backup sets in these situations.=20

To restore your data from backup sets: =20


1.       Click the Restore button in the Tivoli Storage Manager window. =
The
Restore window appears. =20

2.       Expand the directory tree if necessary. To expand a node in =
the
tree, click the plus sign (+) next to an object in the tree.  =20

3.       Locate the object in the tree named Backup Sets and expand it. =


4.       If you want to restore the data from the backup sets on the =
server,
expand the Server object. If you are restoring data from a backup set =
on a
locally attached device, first define the backup set location, then =
expand
the Local object.=20


5.       Your backup sets appear in the tree and are grouped by backup =
set
descriptions. Expand a backup set description to see the backup sets =
with
that description.=20

6.       Click the selection box    next to the backup set that you =
want to
restore.=20

7.       Click the Restore button. The Restore Destination window =
appears.=20

8.       Fill in the Restore Destination window, then click the Restore
button to start the restore.     The Task List window appears showing =
the
progress of the restore.=20


 Considerations: =20

=B7     Backup sets can contain data from multiple filespaces. If you
specify a restore destination other than the original, all of the data =
from
all the filespaces will be restored in the specified destination.=20
=B7     If you want to change the options for your restore, click the =
Modify
Restore Options button     in the Restore Options window.=20
=B7     If you want TSM to estimate the amount of time it takes to =
process
your files and directories, click the Estimate button. Note: The =
Estimated
Transfer Time field reads N/A if  no files have ever been sent to or =
from
the current TSM server.=20
