Restore my files with TSM

• Look the location of your home directory:
  • This means you'll have to browse to File Level -> /ui_j -> userid

• Check the files you want to restore and click Restore
  • You'll be asked for the restore destination
  • Restore to the original location will not work!
    Check Restore partial path instead and select the parent directory of the lost files/dirs (/i_j/your_account/[some_subdir]) as the destination directory ( Following location) to restore the files to their original location.
• Click Restore and wait patiently

TSM Command Line Interface

Experienced users may also use the TSM command line interface dsmc:

• The basic syntax is dsmc restore -servername=lxfsuXX options file-specification destinationfilespace (with XX=11-20), e.g.:
  • Restoring a single file:
    dsmc restore -servername=lxfsu13 /srv/nfs/u13_1/dvheta/filename /u/dvheta/
  • Restoring a whole directory tree (including all files in all subdirs) to a different directory:
    dsmc restore -servername=lxfsu13 -subdir=yes "/srv/nfs/u13_1/dvheta/directory/*" /tmp/restore/

Special considerations for user initiated backups and archives

• On linuxtsm1 a proxy configuration is installed:

q proxy

Target Node         Agent Node                                   
---------------     ---------------------------------------------
LXTSM               LXFSU02 LXFSU01 LXFSU03 LXFSU04 LXFSU05      
                     LXFSU06 LXFSU07 LXFSU08 LXFSU09 LXFSU10     
                     LXFSU

On lxi045 this feature is installed, i.e. backups and archives from this node are stored under the nodename LXTSM.
