It is not permitted to restore the system object to a machine with a
different name. The computer name of the restore target much match that of
the original machine.

You can find more info in the IBM redbook SG24-6141 "Deploying the Tivoli
Storage Manager Client in a Windows 2000 Environment". The redbook is
available at www.redbooks.ibm.com.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.

        Subject:        Restore of System Object



I'm trying to restore the System Object of one Win2K server to another
Win2K server.  Kind of a disaster recovery test.

TSM Client Version on source machine is 4.2.0, TSM Client Version on
destination machine is 4.2.2.  Copied the dsm.opt file from the source
machine to the destination machine.  When on the destination machine, I
can
seen and restore normal files that were backed up on the source machine.
But, I can not restore the system object to the destination machine.

The system object appears available to restore on the source machine. When
I do
      q systemobject
I get results.  But when I do the same thing on the destination machine, I
get a message stating that no system objects were backed up.

What am I missing?
