Hi,
Starting from a high level view:
I'm trying to restore a single server from a daily backup using our COPYPOOL tapes from the previous night.
I have volhist, decfg, etc. - my tapes are loaded and present in the DR library - all details in place so far.
I tried restoring a single server's C$ drive with ASR/Sys state using the TSM process - TSM ASR diskette, TSMCLI CD and Slipstreamed Win2K3 CD w/ Ethernet drivers, etc.
The DR server boots DHCP from the DR-TSM server, the process works well until I need to restore.
However, when I chose "Restore from server" - I was receving lots of "unavailable on server" messages when restoring C$.
I ran a "query filespace" on my server & "query content" of my copy vols and found that there was nothing in my restored DB on the DR-TSM server for C$?

And here is the "same" query on my Production server:
(Notice the C$ drive data is there - why? )

HADES \\hades\c$ 5 WinNT NTFS Yes 70,002.0 68.4
Has the data for my tapes been reclaimed or I missed a backup of C$.
Anyway - for some reason I didn't have the data I needed from a daily backup - COPYPOOL tapes for my DR restore....
I suppose I better look at the dsmsched.log for the server I am restoring and verify C$ was backed up that day!
Any other comments or help?
Thanks in advance.
