Thanks for all the input on this. On reflection, I think the problem as I originally stated it was slightly different to the one I was actually trying to solve. Having thought about it, my primary aim was to get the process described in this document
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/wikis/home/wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager/page/Best%20Practices%20for%20Recovering%20Windows%20Server%202008,%20Windows%20Server%202008%20R2,%20Windows%207,%20and%20Windows%20Vista to work with the x64 TSM v6.4 client. Now that I know (thanks to Erwann's most useful link) that the updated client docs link to this article too, I think IBM need to address this because the suggested OSCDIMG.EXE command doesn't work when the size of the image exceeds a standard CD. In line with Rick and Maurice's suggestion about using larger optical media instead of trying to make the client smaller I suspect the answer is to use the '-m' switch with OSCDIMG.EXE. I'm also wondering whether it's best to replace the '-n' switch with '-u2'. (In my operation the images are unlikely to go anywhere near optical media and be mounted to the TSM client via Virtual Centre or whatever lights out management system the server contains) Regards Neil Schofield Technical Leader Yorkshire Water ---------------------------------------- Spotted a leak?
