The simplest way to do this is to do it from the command line:

1. Edit the dsm.opt file on the target server. Comment out the
NODENAME line with an asterisk. Add the line
        nodename <name_of_source_client_box>

2. Run DSMC. Enter the command:
        tsm> restore <drive>:\<desired_directory_tree>\<desired_file>

Easy as can be. The most important thing to remember is not to have
the machines using the same nodename contacting the TSM server at the
same time.

Careful what you offer. I've been known to make long side trips to
take advantage of such...
