Andreas,

I am not sure of what you are asking.  However, if you are trying to
restore an entire filesystem you simply issue the "dsmc restore" command
and specify the appropriate parameters for that filesystem and TSM takes
care of the rest!  Similarly, if you use "dsm" or the web client GUI you
just select the filesystem and let TSM do its thing.

There is no need for you to worry about restoring things in stages, i.e.
directories, then recent incremental and all that stuff.  That is what
inferior legacy type backup stuff has you do.

Hi All,

restoring a full filesystem, what is the sequence of volume usage ?

Because the directories and the last incr backups are stored in disk
volumes
and restoring the last backups first,
I want the following sequence:

1. restore directories.
2. restore files from disk volumes.
3. restore files from tape volumes.

Use the TSM-server this sequence ?
If not, how can I configure it ?


Thanks in advance !

Andreas.
