Scheduling A TSM Restore

[Davidflg]

I wish to automate/schedule a restore operation to another location on a weekly basis, this is easily achieved manually through the GUI, but I wish to automate the operation. (TSM BAClient 5.3.0)



Any ideas would be greatly appreciated



Thanks!

We do such a thing on a daily basis, restoring a windows D: drive from a production system to a development system.



We implement it by first creating a tsm script, with define clienta

action=command object=/file/on/client/containing/restore.cmd

then trigger the script using an administrative schedule.



The reason for using the script is there is logic in it, e.g. if (rc_ok) etc

to notify us on failure.



Otherwise you can just using an admin schedule with define clienta

action=command, etc.
