Meng, Unfortunately backupsets do not support archives. At least that is my understanding as of the last time I looked into it. Not sure about API support, but I would assume that it wont' become supported till after archives in general are supported.

I'm using TSM API to write a program, but after I make a backupset(the files in TSM was archived by using APIs and the backupset was generated by using TSM server command "gene backupset"), I found it can not be restored by TSM Client. And I found TSM client help '57' said: Note: There is no support in the API for the backup set format. Therefore, backup set data that was backed up via the API cannot be restored or used. Is it means that I CAN NOT USE BACKUPSET function in my application? Can anyone enlight me?
