Ray Thanks,

Yes this helps, What about the "normal" TSM backup client files not the
"VM\VCB" files will this work with restoring them even though no client
is installed? (I hope this doesn't confuse you)

I may be the one who is confused  I picture the vm/vcb  files being
separate from the normal TSM Client Backup files.

thanks again!

Tim, do you mean you are performing VCB backups of guest machines and you want 
to restore a specific file from one of those backups? If so, you can mount the 
VMDK files once you restore them to your VCB proxy computer. I don't have the 
link, but you can search VMware's web site on VCB backup and restore.

I also found this new tool (which I have *no* experience with):

   Steve thanks,

Do you know if there are any instructions/manuals on how to do this without the 
Client installed?

Thanks
Tim

No, but I'm using the Storserver for VCB Agent, which makes it pretty easy.

    Hello All,

Does anyone have any issues/problems  with doing file-level restores
without the TSM Client installed?
