Although this shouldn't matter, I am running TSM 5.1.7.1 on AIX 4.3.3. We are moving a large number and size of files from a Netware server to an NT server, and I am trying to come up with a way to help the process so we don't have to use a workstation to copy files from a Netware mount to a Windows mount (which really slows things down because the data has to travel from the Netware server to the workstation and then to the NT server all on one network connection).
I can't give client access rights to an NT server for Netware backups because of the file/folder rights/properties/attributes issues. So, my bright idea was to generate a backupset of the Netware volume to the TSM server, delete the backup set, define that tape volume to the NT server as a backup set, and restore the data from TSM (my understanding is a backupset is unencrypted backups with no rights/properties information... just files and folders, perhaps readonly, hidden etc attributes included). The generate backupset went well (after I used move nodedata to place all the files on one tape). The delete and define had no noticeable issues. We are trying to do the restore of the backupset to the NT server now, but nothing is moving. The session started only has 4.5K sent and 694bytes rcv'd. It has been sitting like that for 20 minutes. I visually checked the tape drive, and the light is flashing as if the drive is doing something (LTO library). The NT admin verifies that there are no folders/files restored. Was this a pipe dream to begin with?
