Hi

I've come across a problem starting a new backup while a restore of
older data to a different server is running.

Background:
1. Server1 runs an incremental backup nightly.
2. I run a point-in-time restore of a server1 filesystema to server2
filesystemb from a few days earlier.  In case it matters, this was a
lan-free backup and a lan-free restore.

run on server2, the target:
dsmc restore -se=server2_inst /filesystema -fromnode=server1
-pitd=07/14/2007 -pitt=06:00:00 -sub=yes -replace=yes /filesysemb

The restore is still running when it is time for the nightly backup of
server1 to run.  This nightly backup fails with an error message telling
me that a restore is running and needs to be cancelled or completed for
the backup to run.

Is this to be expected?  I am restoring data from an earlier backup
onto a different server.  What does it matter if I am running a new
backup of server1?

Thanks!
