One of oour main windows 2003 server crahsed today and the san disk it turs out is corrupted and we need to restore 2TB of user files to a new server.
The users cannot login to their workstations because this server is used in our login process and each user maps a home directory to a share on that server when they login. I am in the process of creating a backupset so the restore can go quickly but our management needs the users to at least be able to login even if there data is not restored yet. So if I start a restore will TSM recreate all the folders with permissions first then start putting the data back last? If we can get the folder structure back first we can at least let people login. Does anyone know if TSM will put the folder structure back first with permissions? Thanks
