You have answered your own question.... append "preview=yes" to your command (the format is different on platforms)
.... this will tell you what you need to know. -----Original Message----- From: Gary Swanton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 06 February 2002 11:37 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Domino TDP I meant that how do you know what tapes are required before the restore has started? I am happy with 'q req' but you have to watching the console for each requested volume to be asked for. I want to know what volumes I will need when I want to carry out a restore - A Preview if you will.

Otherwise try 'q req' from the TSM server session.

Please advise me of the correct method. A question on performing a restore. How does one determine what tapes (volumes) are required when a restore is initiated. Thanx in advance.

Or does TDP store the bitfile > object in a container somewhere that I am not looking? TDP for Domino backups are made up of two TSM server objects. You found one of them. We call this the "header" object. It contains no bitfile data. It contains "meta" data that describes the backup. The other object is the "data" object. It has the same name but it has a ".DATA" appended to the LL object name. It contains the bitfile data for the backup. So in your example, you would have: \MAIL\ 123456.NSF (header) \MAIL\ 123456.NSF.DATA (data) I hope this helps.
