TSM Kommandozeile Überblick

• List contents of backup:

dsmc query backup '/data/*'

• Restore files with directory recursion to original location:

dsmc restore "/data/*" -su=yes

„-su“ stands for subdirectories.

• Restore files recursively to a different location:

dsmc restore "/data/*" /different/location/ -su=yes

The „/“ at end of the new location is mandatory.

• Options apparently go at the end of a command.

• It looks like using dsmc interactively will wait for tape mounts but otherwise it won't. You can use the tapeprompt option:

  -tapeprompt=no

„No“ is the default and means TSM will automatically wait for the tape to be mounted. „Yes“ means TSM will ask the user whether to wait or not.

• Specify what to do when trying to restore to an existing file with:

-replace=xxx

The possibilities are:

• Prompt: You are prompted whether to overwrite a file that already exists on your workstation. If the existing file is read-only, you are prompted whether to overwrite it. This is the default.
• All: All existing files are overwritten, including read-only files. All locked files are replaced when the system is rebooted. If access to a file is denied, you are prompted to skip or overwrite the file. No action is taken on the file until there is a response to the prompt.
• Yes: Any existing files are overwritten, except read-only files. If a file is read-only, you are prompted to overwrite the file or skip it. No action is taken on the file until there is a response to the prompt. If access to a file is denied, the file is skipped.
• No: Existing files are not overwritten. No prompts will be displayed.
