dsmc retrieve syntax

[toddz2000]

Linux Server 5.4
Linux CLient 5.3.2

I have a partition/filespace /home mounted
Under home there is
/home/mail
/home/test
/home/popuser
I ran
dsmc archive -subdir=yes /home/mail/

All went well 30 gigs.

I tried to restore my directory
dsmc retrieve -subdir=yes /home/mail/tzenker/
Nothin, nada was restored...
Do I have to restore the whole /home/ directory??? I can do this, but I dont want all those directories.

Thanks
todd

Didnt work

Thanks
I'm sure the syntax is out there.

I want to be able to select certain users to restore from an archive

ive tried /home/mail/tzenker/ -pick -subdir=yes

dsmc retrieve /home/ -subdir=yes works, but it restores the whole directory(too many files)

try this... go to /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin
execute dsmcad
open a browser and type http://clientipaddress:1581
click retrieve button and .....

I will just use
dsmc retrieve /home/ -pick -subdir=yes
and traverse through what I need to restore.

Thanks for the help
the dsmcad just keeps hanging the browser

I'm completely updated, Its just java is a HOG.

I was able to use DSMCAD.

I had to turn off iptables on the box. didnt like the rule I put in for 1581. I would get a tcp communication error so I turned off iptables for a few mins.

It works. yepppie.
Thanks for the help.
Still dont understand why I can retrieve just a directory or a file from command line.

Thanks again.
