I am not aware of the "fromowner" option.  Is it documented somewhere?

FYI:
In trying the GUI I was able to restore the file after:
 "Utilities"
"Display drives for node"
Click on restore drive
"Restore by file specification"
Well....is this a feature...or a bug in the command line? I thought the GUI was

actually driven by the command line and therefore never assumed the GUI  would
work and not the command line.

I'll be calling IBM.....

From Dwight Cook:

 Well, a couple of things....
     1) cheat and pretend to be who you aren't...
        dsmc -serv=servofotherbox -node=nameofotherbox -pass=passofotherbox
     2) are  you using the fromowner ?

     query archive "/SomeFileSpace/*" -subdir=yes -fromnode=Client-1
     -fromowner=Oracle-1

I have 2 NT 3.5.1 ADSM clients:

I want to restore a file (D:\notes\data\mail\auserid.nsf) stored in an NTFS
filesystem to the other ADSM NT client also NTFS.

1)     I set authorization on the source client to * * * *... enabling any
node to access anything.

2)     Backup by file specification D:\notes\data\mail\auserid.nsf.

3)     Ensure the file is there
On source client: q b D:\notes\data\mail\auserid.nsf
Okay I see it!

4)  Moving to target client... get the filespace name from source client
     q f -fromn=sourcenode
     Okay I got the filespace name {Data_D}

5)  Verify that I can see the file from target client
     q b -fromn=sourcenode {Data_D}\notes\data\mail\auserid.nsf
     OH NO!
     I get ANS4087E no files have previously been backed up for
+\notes\data\mail\auserid.nsf,
     Same error w:q b -fromn=sourcenode D:\notes\data\mail\auserid.nsf
     Same error w:q b -fromn=sourcenode \notes\data\mail\auserid.nsf
    ??????????

I have also tried to +query backup..., from my NT 4.0 workstation and cannot
see sourcenode,s file.

I have done this successfully using OS/2 ADSM clients... What am I missing????

TIA
