The idea behind backupset is to have all files for quick restore after a
disaster - some are calling it "bare metal" restore.
After you finish restore of files (including *SM client) you can easily
continue with raw device restore to completely restore the whole data.
*SM server is unaware of data in your raw devices so it cannot recreate
them without additional knowledge (of physical allocation for example) and
cannot restore their contents together with file restore.

Subject:        !!Backupsets and Raw Volumes!!

Hi,

question for you about backupsets....

I am running a backupset every month on a system that backs up both normal
filesystems and raw partitions (using the dsmc backup image command).

Problem is that when i do:

tsm> q backupsetcontents nodename backupsetname

I can see a list of all my files but no mention of the raw partitions.....
is this correct...

any ideas how I would go about checking that the raw partitions are
actually contained in the backupset and how to restore them???

Cheers
Scott Thompson
