Our site has requested that I conduct random server recovery exercises
involving restoring the data from tape onto a spare test server and
comparing it to the data that is in my production environment.  Where I
am running into a problem is when it comes to the test server logging
into TSM to restore data from a server that is in production and does
nightly scheduled backups.  Every time I login via the TSM client and
begin the full restore (which can take overnight because of the amount
of data) it stops the actual production server from logging in at it's
scheduled time to do its backup.  Is there a way for my test server to
login and do restore of a production server without preventing the
production server from doing it's scheduled backups?
