You can also use the TSM client GUI - Select Restore then Find off the
edit menu - use the "Backed up" criteria to enter the dates/times you
are interested in.

Subject: What does it backup?

Hi all,
 
I was just checking my activity log on my TSM 4.2 server and noticed
something odd. One of the clients (W2K server with Oracle + an
imagebank) did a backup of 2588 files, amounting to almost 9Gb.
 
I know not that many data modifies in a single day so I checked to be
sure, and indeed: only 707 files (393Mb) were modified. My next guess
was that, for some reason, the Oracle datafiles or backuplogs where
backed up (normal Oracle backup runs through TDP as a seperate job) but
when I did a point-in-time check, no oracle datafiles were found - and
there shouldn't be, as they are excluded from regular backup in dsm.opt.
 
Can anyone tell me how I can check what files it actually did backup? I
really want to know what that data is...
 
Kind regards,
