TSM Kommandozeile Überblick

• List contents of backup:

dsmc query backup '/data/*'

• Incremental

dsmc incr

* Archive

dsmc archive /scratch/anna/* -subdir=yes

• 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.

• Please note that performing several restores in a row sometimes pulls in files that were previously marked as unavailable

• List restartable restore sessions:

dsmc query restore

• Restart a restartable restore:

dsmc restart restore

Choose for the list of restore sessions displayed.

• Cancel a restartable restore:

dsmc cancel restore

• Allow access to this host's backup from other hosts:

dsmc set access backup "*" TOP*.PHYSIK.UNI-FREIBURG.DE root

• Display host that have been allowed access to this host's backup.

dmsc query access

• Delete access to this host's backup from other hosts:

dmsc delete access

A list of access rules is shown and the user selects which one to delete.

• Specify a different host's backup to restore from:

-fromnode=other-host

• Do several at once to speed up recovery

• 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 (default): You are prompted whether to overwrite a file that already exists on your workstation.
• All: All existing files are overwritten. No action is taken on the file until there is a response to the prompt.
• Yes: Any existing files are overwritten. No action is taken on the file until there is a response to the prompt.
• No: Existing files are not overwritten. No more prompts will be displayed.
