Hi Zoltan, I do not know what the trouble is. I just tried the 7.1.1 client on my Win 7 x64 workstation, and it finds the USB drive just fine under "Removable drives".
Have you tried manually typing in a USB drive letter and directory as a restore destination? Or using the command line? Do you have UAC enabled on your workstation? If yes, try this: 1. Open a Windows command prompt (cmd.exe) with the "Run as administrator" option. 2. Within that prompt. change into the TSM directory where dsm.exe is located (for example, cd /d "C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient"). 3. Type dsm.exe from the command prompt and press <ENTER> to start the TSM Java GUI. Any difference? - Andy ____________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Raibeck | Tivoli Storage Manager Level 3 Technical Lead | [email protected] IBM Tivoli Storage Manager links: Product support: http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/Overview/Software/Tivoli/Tivoli_Storage_Manager Online documentation: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7/welcome Product Wiki: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home/wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> wrote on 2014-11-21 09:11:16: > From: Zoltan Forray <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Date: 2014-11-21 09:12 > Subject: Restore can't select USB hard drive for destination > Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> > > Doing some cleanup I found an old backup of my previous desktop machine.
