Correct. You can restore any *IX to any other variant of *IX, but you can't restore from *IX to Windows. Or vice versa. Restore to an *IX platform, and FTP to your Windows box, if that's what is really wanted.

Now, the source node is suse linux under zvm, the target is some variant of windows. I have tried restoreing both /home/userx/filename and {/home}/userx/filename I either get "no matching files" or invalid filespace for the current operating system. Are we stuck, not able to restore across platforms? If not, what next? Gary Lee Senior System Programmer Ball State University phone: 765-285-1310
