Dumping the table is what I'd like to do, but I don't want to occupy
the simple database under TSM for the time that it seems like this
could take. I used the gui to get an estimate the largest, most files
node and it returned 990K objects (both files and directories?) and
estimated 105 hours to do a restore of the data. That's a long time.
