I have restored NT files to a Sun, but it requires that you map a drive on
an NT machine using UNC to the Unix box.  I was able to do this since we are
using PCNetLink from Sun which presents a NT File Share to the network.  I
am not familiar enough with Unix to tell you if there is another way to do
it though.  Once it is on the Unix box I could move it anywhere I wanted.

This cannot be done.  You have to restore to the same type of filesystem.

But it just made me think of another scenario.  Suppose I had a file backed
up from a FAT filesystem on windows.  If I had a FAT partition mounted on a
UNIX machine then could I restore that file?

Hi,

Is there a way to restore a NT file on UNIX? For example, a file
\\machinename\\c$\tmpdir\dsmdata, I want to restore on an UNIX machine, how
do I run the 'dsmc restore...' command assumping I change the local node
name to be the NT node name.

Thanks in advance for you help.

Regards,
Phillip
