I think you'll want to look at "GRANT PROXYNODE", using it to grant
access to the powered-off node's (say NODE_A) backups to another system
that's still online (NODE_B). After running that command on the TSM
server, you would login to NODE_B and do "dsmc restore -asnode=NODE_A
/path/to/file".

Hello,
        Is it possible to restore a file from the backups of a box that is
powered off? The old node is still registered on tivoli, it has not been
removed yet and subsequently all its backups. They want the file to be
restored into the new box.  I appreciate your help.
