Hi Neil,

What I can tell you is that my testing was done with a 7.1.4 server, and I
reproduced the symptoms consistent with the old defect I mentioned in my
prior email. When I applied the workaround for that issue (QUIET option), I
could do the restore. The other ADSM-L poster, Michael Prix, verified that
QUIET solved it for him, too. So based on what I know, everything works as
I have described. At this time I have no reason to think that this is
attributable to a specific version of the server.

If you have a 6.1.0.0 client, try the same testing I described earlier:
back up a file to a 7.1.1 server, then try to restore it. Make sure you
explicitly specify the file for the restore file spec (not just the
directory), e.g.:

  dsmc restore /mydir/myfile.txt

and that VERBOSE logging is enabled. I would expect you to get the same
message, ANS4035W. Then try the restore again, with QUIET, and see if it
avoids the issue.

Assuming that this all works as I describe, then I would expect the same
behavior for 7.1.4 (or later) as I would for 7.1.1, or any prior server
level.

If, in fact, the restore from tape from the 7.1.1 server is successful with
VERBOSE logging enabled, then repeat the restore like this:

   dsmc restore /mydir/myfile.txt -traceflags=service,verbdetail
-tracefile=dsmc_rest_trace.out

and send me the resulting trace file, and I will see what I can see...

Best regards,

Andy
