Eric,

You no longer need direct query because when you enter the
TSM Server using the NODENAME that contains the backup,
the SQL Server name will automatically appear in the tree view.
In other words, DP for SQL will query the TSM Server
for all backups under the NODENAME as opposed to
just the SQL server that you are running DP for SQL on.

Thanks,

Del
