I can relate. One of our first attempts at a large scale restore was after a
server crashed. We had a similar experience. Eventually it appeared that
things broke lose and the restores were going to work. After it finished, we
discovered that only part of the files had been restored. When we started
checking into the restore we discovered that complete subdirectories were
empty, but ADSM showed then to have files in them. We talked with ADSM
technical support on this question and were basic told “TOUGH”. Needless to
say this did not win us very many points with management.

I recently attempted to use the GUI interface to restore a group of
files to
an HP-UX 10.20 system using the 3.1.0.6 ADSM client. The files were
originally
backed up by another HP-UX 10.20 system with the same level of the
client
software. I used the -virtualnodename option to get the system
performing the
restore to look like the original system. I selected one of the file
systems
and then deselected a number of directories and a number of files
within that
file system. After I clicked on the 'Restore' button, I selected a
different
file system as the destination and asked ADSM to proceed with the
restore. The
GUI then claimed to be "Preparing...". I stopped and restarted the
process
several times and always saw similar behavior. The last time the
session with
the ADSM server sent about 6 megabytes of data to the client over a
prolonged
period and then went into an idle wait state. By the time I gave up
on this
last attempt the session had been idle for over half an hour and the
GUI still
claimed to be preparing.
This whole business started when a manager who is skeptical about
ADSM asked
me and some of my coworkers to restore a key application on a test
server. The
exhibition of ineptitude described above is not likely to increase
the
manager's confidence in ADSM.
