No.  I get "ANS1084E No files have previously been backed up for 'drive:*'".


I did modify the dsm.opt for the cluster resource name. By default, the
dsm.opt (as opposed to a dsm_custom.opt) is read by the DSM or DSMC
utilities, so it must be changed to enable the correct node ID to restore
from, if other than the default node. I can't think of another way to
request a restore from a "virtual" node, such as a cluster resource.

Can you see the backups if you run the backup from the command-line
interface, like this:

        dsmc restore <drive>:\foo\bar\* -subdir=yes -pick


If you're after point-in-time restores, the line is

        dsmc restore <drive>:\foo\bar\* -subdir=yes -pick -ina

(Gotta love that pick option!)
