How can I search and find a particular file or directory for example oraInventory , /oracle/JSS ,IN TSM backp via dsmc ?

Thanks

dsmc query backup /oracle/JSS
if you want more details put -detail parameter, if you want to list active and inactive files for this directory put -inactive parameter, if you want to list subdirectories under jss folder just add -subdir=yes

You can use wildcards, but this is where the search function in the TSM GUI client is very helpful have you tried using it?

I am using Query Backup to check some critical files. However it seems that I can only do this from the server they were backed up on. For example:

From Server1 I can launch DSMC and do Q BACKUP c:\critical\*
and this will give me a complete list of files.

However what I would like to be able to do is run this command from Workstation1 for example.

I have editied the dsm.opt file on my workstation and this connects as Server1, but I get the following error when doing exactly the same command:

ANS1084E No files have previously been backed up for Server1

Is there anyway I can run this query from another machine and not have to do it on the server in question?

Thanks.
