search archived directories in the console

[waelti]

Ist there a possibility to search for directories (with wildcard) in all archives in the console to retrieve data?
They don´t know where the directories laid when they where archived.
The search function in the gui doesn´t search anymore, if java exeeds 2GB
I have to search a directory which starts with 20117346_C204 and the archived directory can be anywhere under \\amanda\dok or \\amanda\archive etc.

You could do:

Because it's a UNC name, you will need to find the filespace name:

dsmc query filespace

Then do a query and put the filespace name in the same case as the above output between {}

dsmc query archive {\\amanda\dok}\20117346_C204*

Repeat for the other directory.

Thank you marclant, how can I find the directory, if I don´t know, in which level the folder was ? I don´t want to search each possible location. Is there no possibility to search in the complete filespace for the foldername?

 

[marclant]

That's what the query I gave you is supposed to do.

I think, there was a asterik missing in your query:
dsmc query archive {\\amanda\dok}*\20117346_C204*

No, there is no * missing. check my test:

c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient>dsmc query archive {\\node1\c$}\2015*

Note that it only gives you the directories, but you can browse them later for the files once you know where they are.

In my case, I needed an asterik, because I didn´t know, where the directory resides (as explained in the question).
Without the asterik, I find nothing.
tsm> q ar {\\amanda\ntdata}*\20085289_FMH_Vermessung*

Thank you for your help, I found both directories (different nodes, different archive date)
