Thomas,

Cannot speak about NT restores specifically, but have had some experience of
Novell restores and do not see why from a TSM view they should be different.
Say you want to restore client A's filespaces to client B
With Netware you just specify the nodename of client A in the dsm.opt of client
B
Then you kick of a command line restore from client B something along the lines
of
load dsmc rest  -tapep=n -repl=n -su=y A\data:\   B\data:\
You have told TSM that for the purposes of the restore Client B is client A, so
it will restore
client A's data to the tcpip address that you have initiated the restore from.
We actually use a separate "contingency" client for this type of disaster
recovery restores,
but if you do not then you need to ensure that after the restore you change the
nodename in
client B back to its real name, and of course that old caveat  with Novell of
relading the client scheduler to pick up the dsm.opt change. With NT I believe
the same is achieved by stop/starting the scheduller service.

Hope this helps,
John
