Re: restore windows files to mac

That's a frequently asked question. You can't access file systems whichare alien to your operating system, and in particular which are notprogrammed into the TSM client.


But there are alternatives...
- The Mac can participate in a Windows network to access files.

- With the files resident or restored on another Windows system, youmight try creating a Zip bundle of files on the Windows system, and FTPthat to the Mac to unpack.- OS X does Samba nicely, where a Samba server might be used as anintermediary for transfer.


There is also a Microsoft method:

Remote Desktop Connection Client (RDC) Microsoft software which allowsa Macuser to connect to aWindows-basedcomputer and work with programsandfiles on that computer. Toconnect to aWindows-based computer, youneed networkaccess and permissions toconnect to thecomputer, and the computer mustberunning Terminal Services orRemoteDesktop Services. The followingWindows

Hi all,

One of our employees switched to a PowerBook from his windows laptop.
He has a lot of documents (approx. 50GB) on that laptop that I want torestore to the new Mac. I installed the TSM client on both machines(5.2.3 on the windows XP (SP2) machine and 5.2.1 on the mac (OS X10.3.9)).I have added the mac machine to the "node access list" on the windowsTSM client. It only has a C:drive and I defined the followingpermission:
Set Access Backup \\lap021\c$\*\* LAP029

Where lap021 is the windows machine and LAP029 is the powerbook.
Now, if I try "access another node" from the Mac client it gives methe possibility to select the local filesystem of LAP021 but I cannotbrowse into the directories.I also noticed that it asks me for a username when I try to access thewindows machine from the mac. However, no matter which username Ienter (even non-existent names), it still gives me (limited) access toLAP021. Also, it never asks me for a password for those usernames.
Where am I going wrong?
Anyone who has experience in this matter?
BTW: I could FTP the files from one machine to the other but then I'dlose all timestamps of the files.
Thanks!

Tim
