Alternate client restore

[dupol]

One of my Windows clients had a complete hard drive failure and we cannot get it to boot. We want to restore the data to an alternate client. I was trying to restore some files to the TSM server directly (a Linux server), but it is not working. I tried running this:

dsmc query filespace -fromnode=client_a

but I get this error, even though there are file spaces for this client:
"No file spaces for node ''client_a' were found on the server"

I then tried this:

dsmc -virtualnodename=client_a

But I get this error:
"ANS1357S Session rejected: Downlevel client code version"

Both the client and server are at the same version:

Client Version 6, Release 1, Level 0.0

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

I believe you cannot do a restore of windows files to linux. Try doing it on a system with the same OS.
