Hello,
Pretty new to the TSM so I need a little guidance here. I have taken over from a previous TSM guy.
Im trying to restore a file older than our retention policy. Every week, we run an export on every node to tape with the following command
I have googled myself into almost crying because everything points to that this is not possible. First I thought I could "mount" the tapes needed and just recover the file. Note, I want to restore to the same TSM server.
Is this even possible? I don't want to setup a new TSM server with a library to do a DR.
* If I do a "import node", will that overwrite my existing backupdata on that node?
* If no - Is it possible to pause and change the active nodename and then do a "import node"?
Very thankful for answers!
Regards
Bjoern

export node * filedata=allactive devclass=ltotape scratch=yes
We then move the physical tapes to another location due to policies. We need to do an export every week due to legal requirements. I also thought that this could be a method of "longtime retention"..?I have googled myself into almost crying because everything points to that this is not possible.
