How do I know if they are similar and mutually supported?  I am not very
familiar with this process and I want to make sure that it works.  Do they
have to have the same filespace name?  Or do they have to have the same
hierarchy set up within the directory and filespaces?  Thanks!

Joni,


In the example you state it is possible to do a restore across these OS'es,
but only because the filesystem types are simmilar.
You have to check to see if the source and target filesystems are, in case
of SUN, UFS.
I have done this in the past, because some SUN servers are in the DMZ and i
don't have access to them, but i needed to get some of the logfiles on
them.
I booted the Redhad workstation and restored them.

Again, make sure the filesystems are mutually supported.

regards,

Onderwerp: Restore files across platforms?


Hi Everyone!

I was just wondering if it would be possible to restore files that were
backed up from the following server which is a SUN Solaris server:

Node Name: INTERWEB1
Platform: SUN SOLARIS
Client OS Level: 5.8
Client Version: Version 5, Release 1, Level 1.0

to a Linux Redhat server?  I know that you have to do the set access
command.  Is the proper syntax: set access backup * *  ?

And also, if the server that it would be restoring to would be called
webusage.xxxxxxxx.com, would the restore command be:  dsmc query backup
-fromnode=interweb1 "/var/run" ?

Thanks in advance!
