I have a TSM installation that is 14 years old, therefore I have some backed up data which is quite old, and the filesystem structure has changed a few times since it was first backed up.<br />
<br />
Now I have to restore a file namexxx.ext, from 9 years ago. The problem is that the original location of the file is not present anymore in the actual server.<br />
<br />
I have tried doing &quot;query backup&quot; commands to no avail. <br />
What i need is some way to do a search for the filename that I ant to restore, whithout having to specify the whole filename path (fileset).<br />
<br />
basically some tipe of select &quot;namexxx.ext&quot; from filenames <br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

[TSM] someone knows an optimized way of searching for a file to restore in TSM DB?

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
