Hi Mark,
Thanks, Yes you are correct, I was getting confused because
When you go to define a backup set using the TSM GUI it reads
the following.
Define Backup Set
Fill out the following to define an existing backup set to this server. .
And I was thinking THIS SERVER meant the one I generated the backup
set to, which was the TSM server that I was on.
Thanks again!
