Re: No query restore rep=all -ifn

Hi Tina,
I just tried what you did. It appears if I restore individual files, I
don't get a tape mount. But if I do entire subdirectories like this
mydir\*.* I do get the tape mounts. Maybe it has something to do with
ADSM needing to automatically restore any child subdirectories of the
directory I've listed?? When I do a restore of a directory that has
subdirectories, the subdirectory names get restored regardless if any files
get restored. And if the subdirectories are on tape instead of disk (we
don't have a DIRCLASS for disk that is fully implemented yet), maybe
that's why the automatic tape mounts??
Thanks,
Julie

Well, just for the heck of it, I tried a restore of a few files in my home
director. My commands were:
dsmc res "showvubt.*" -fromdate=09/01/1998 -rep=all -ifn
and
dsmc res "showvubt.*" -pitdate=10/21/1998 -rep=all -ifn
There are 5 files. The oldest was created in September and the last one on
10/20. I "touched" one of the files so it would have a newer date than any
backup of it. I verified that all backups are on tape.
Neither command caused any tape mounts and no files were restored. Both
times I got the message that the file already existed and would be skipped.
I don't know what the difference is between my restore and yours. Did I
misunderstand what you did?
