Tae,

Yes, you can do this if you set up a FILE devclass for the output.  When
restoring, use -volume=<fullpathandfilename> as an arguement to the restore
db command.

Subject: database restore on a different server


Hi guys. I will be attempting to restore TSM database to a test server
and run audit db. The question is if I backup up the db to disk, is it
possible for me copy the file over and restore the database?

TIA
Tae
