>From the "IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients
Installation and User's Guide", version 5.2 (you never stated what level
of TSM client or server you were using), page 484:

"Tivoli Storage Manager requires an exclusive lock to destination volume
you are restoring. The client will lock, restore, unlock, unmount, and
mount the volume during a restore operation. During the restore process
the destination volume will not be available to other applications."

Your C drive is doubtless the system disk. You will never be able to
lock that volume so as to successfully restore it, since the C drive
contains all OS-related system files. (It would have been nice if the
TSM client had warned that the volume could never be restored.)
