I have a (closed) PMR with Tivoli (20987) and open APAR IC29545.
I get DR. WATSON ERROR:
DrWatson Event ID 4097
The application, , generated an application error The error occurred on
01/30/2001 @ 14:01:42.140 The exception generated was c0000005 at
address 780128F0 (strncmp)
dsmerror log shows:
01/30/2001 14:00:31 NTRestoreRsmDB(): error importing the RSM database
files. Win32 RC=4312.
I am running W2K SP1 and have tried with 4.1.2.0 and 4.1.2.12 clients (3.7.3
server).
If I exclude the RSM from the system object restore then the restore works
properly (and since I am not using RSM I assume this isn't a big deal.)
In my case I was restoring a Domain Controller - if I restored the System
Object in Directory Services restore mode it worked ok, but never worked
following the Redbook W2K Recovery steps. (Install new server, same name
etc, restore all files, don't reboot, restore entire System Object.)
For Domain Controllers, if you have the Active Directory Log and Database on
different drives then the 4.1.2.0 client does not work for restore but the
4.1.2.12 client does.
I may have another problem, still trying to verify, when a backup is done
with the administrator logged in (and hence the ntuser.dat is not backed
up). In this case I have not been successful in doing bare metal restore.
Still working on this one.
Besides the above, I have sucessfully done Bare Metal restores of W2K Domain
controllers many times (15+).

Subject: Windows 2000 server backups
Has anyone successfully been able to restore a win 2k server using TSM? We
have been trying for some time now and have not had success. We opened a pmr
with tivoli and they are working on the problem. When we try to restore win
2k server we can restore the data fine. After we restore the data it gives
you a detailed report. When you close the report it asks if you want to
reboot. Tivoli recommends that you do not reboot, instead you should restore
the system objects which is what we have tried. When the restore of the
system objects is complete it does not give you a detailed report and exits
back to the desktop. If you go into event viewer it reports a dr. watson
error. After you reboot the system is not in the state that it was before
the backup, ie: not a member of domain, office doesn't work (it was
installed before), so it appears not to have been successful. We are using
4.1.2.14 version of the client and 4.1.2.0 of the server. Any help would be
appreciated.
