Re: Backupset Restore of TDP Domino Data

Only files that are backed up using a 'dsmc incremental ' or 'dsmc selective' and only

the active versions of those files are included in a backupset.

If you backed the domino databases up as file using the backup/archive client,

you should be able to use a backupset generated from that filespace to restore the

files. Are you using a windows client or unix? Can you query the backupset from

the server and from the client machine? Are you trying to restore the backupset

while it is still assigned to the TSM server? Or are you moving the backupset volumes

to the local machine and trying it from there?
