The command line is your friend. "Good enough" is the enemy of excellence. From: "Loon, EJ van - SPLXM" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Date: 10/24/2008 04:39 AM Subject: File backed up? Hi *SM-ers! Could someone help me explain this to one of my customers? An AIX client shows just one backup available on the TSM server which was taken a long time ago: dsmc q backup /oracle/T02/sapdata2/el31hd_2/ Tivoli Storage Manager Command Line Backup/Archive Client Interface - Version 5, Release 1, Level 6.0 (C) Copyright IBM Corporation 1990, 2003 All Rights Reserved.
