Angel,
I have tried to do what you have suggested but it hasn't worked.
  I logged to node1
  dsmc res -node=node2 "/var/spool/mail/username" -password=(ADSM passwd

I received the following error:
  ADSTAR Distributed Storage Manager
  Command Line Backup Client Interface - Version 2, Release 1, Level 0.2
  Restore function invoked.

ANS4028E Session rejected: Authentication failure

Total number of objects restored:         0
Total number of bytes transferred:        0
Total failures:                           0
Elapsed processing time:           00:00:00

The password is the right one. So what can be wrong?

All suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Izabela
