The applications on that machine has been slowly migrated to another box and we have been able to re-use FRED for another purpose. However, we are keeping the data that has been backed up for Fred in case the origional box needs to be re-built or the data is required. Here is my question. Baring in mind that the machine FRED no longer exists. is there a way to restore files backed up from Fred to another client node should the need arrise. We are running TSM server 3.7.3.8 on a Sun Solaris 2.7 machine. Clients in question are all 3.7.2.0.
