This APAR might shed some light, although I think it is going to be a
case of working as designed.

http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IC35332

Your extract from the dsmsched.log might be from the system_object(W2K)
/ system_state(W2K3) backup, not part of the actual incremental C: drive
file backup. Was it in the section between the following

Incremental backup of volume '\\lons111013\c$'
Successful incremental backup of '\\lons111013\c$'

Or before this

Successful incremental backup of 'System State' (or system_object w2k).

If the entry in the log shows it as part of the system backup, you won't
be able to restore it individually.

Thanks

Leigh

Subject: [SPAM: 4.700] [ADSM-L] Restore from directory with dots in name

Hi All,

I got a request to restore this filename:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\eu.rabonet.com\scripts\EUAMS\eu_ams_users.xls

But for some reason neither the GUI or the command line recognise any
directory deeper than eu.rabonet.com
This has been extracted from the dsmsched.log:

08/22/2006 21:27:30 Normal File-->            36,864
\\lons111013\c$\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\eu.rabonet.com\scripts\EUAMS\eu_am
s_users.xls [Sent]

So it's definitely been processed by the server.

Problem is that the GUI won't display any directory deeper than
eu.rabonet.com and the command line says there's nothing to restore,
even if I state an inactive version of that file.

I've opened a call with IBM, but I was just wondering if anyone's seen
this behaviour before?
Clients are 5.2.4.4 and the TSM server is 5.2.7.1 on W2K3

Thanks,
Matthew
