Re: NT Tape Display

Jerry,

I would recommend using Tivoli Storage Manager to backup these NT files to 
your tape drive.  It can also backup any other servers or clients in your 
network.  TSM comes with the purchase of certain Enterprise packages of 
iSeries and i5.

NT Tape Display






We do a backup of the NT server inside our AS400 with the SAV command 
after
doing a vary off of the NT config.

Now we need to do a restore (RST) of a directory that was deleted.

How can we do this?  Where are the files?  Is NT just like the IFS? 
Where's the
data?  What's the cmd syntax (RST) to restore a folder?  Or is this done 
from
NT?

Jerry

Following is the listing from :
 DSPTAP DEV(TAP01) DATA(*SAVRST) OUTPUT(*PRINT) ENDOPT(*UNLOAD)

This confirms that files are being copied. It looks like it is copying
entire volumes as a single file each. To recover a single file or 
directory
I would need to recover the entire drive to a neutral location, then get
what I need. If I am missing something, or misinterpreting this report,
please let me know. By the way, the AS400 does not allow *SAVRST to
*OUTFILE. You have to use OUTPUT(*PRINT).

Do you know if the NT side can see the tape drive? Can I install 
BackupExec
or similar and backup to the same tape drive?
