TSM doesn't restore the folders with the same 8 character unicode name.

Original server names:

c:\program files\Microsoft SQL Server   c:\progra~1\micros~1
c:\program files\Microsoft Office                c:\progra~1\micros~2

After TSM restore, they were swapped since the Microsoft Office folder
got restored first.

c:\progra~1\micros~1  c:\program files\Microsoft Office
c:\progra~1\micros~2  c:\program files\Microsoft SQL Server

I know its Window 2000 and not everyone has not replaced
or upgraded all 2000 servers, but during a recent restore
this happened. The service on the server for Microsoft SQL
server was coded with c:\progra~1\micros~1.

I redid the restore in the sequence of the original folders
one at a time to guarantee proper unciode naming to get past
the issue.

Is there any way to tell TSM to restore keeping the actual
unicode names.
