Same File Retrieval through unix command

[newbee21369]

How do I retrieve the same file of different size via the command line without replacing it?

Bee,

First determine which file you want by listing all available

"dsmc query backup /file/to/restore -inactive"



Then restore

"dsmc restore /file/to/restore /different/file/name -inactive \

-pick"



The -pick parameter will present you with a pick list.



Tha A/I column indicates "Active/Inactive" where Active is the latest backup and Inactive is a previous version.



- or -

"dsmc restore /file/to/restore /different/destination/directory/ -pitd=mm/dd/yy"

*note the trailing "/" in the destination directory specification

Would there be a reason why when I run the command



dsmc query backup "foo" -inactive



I get this message when the files are there:
