-fromdate syntax problem

[alice]

Can anyone advise me on this problem I'm having:

Having done a image restore I want to use the command line to restore the incrementals.

I'm using the command like this:



restore -fromd=21/09/03 -tod=23/09/03 g:\* \\server\g$ -subdir=yes -replace=all



but I get the error message



ANS1107E Invalid option/value: '-FROMDATE' every time.



It's doing my head in!

On a restore, it restores to a point in time (todate) it will restore all active objects as of thats date. Since TSM performs a "rolling full" backup, there is no fromdata needed.

Is TSM intelligent enough to recognise that I only need incrementals to be restored since the last image? I don't want to to start restoring absolutely everything....

TSM will compare what is active in it's database and what is on the client on a file-by-file basis. If the file is the same as whats in it's database, it won't restore it.



TSM is actually very smart...but a real pain sometimes. :grin:
