OK, so here's a problem. I've just run an incremental for the vol1: volume. It backed up 204 objects for a total of 303.5 KB taking 1:23. I used the following command:
i vol1:home/
This is the command line command to tell TSM that I want an incremental backup of the home directory on vol1: This worked fine.
Trying to continue my testing I tried to restore vol1:/home to the copy: volume, so I issued the command:
res vol1:home/ copy:tsm/
This tells TSM to restore everything it has for vol1:home/ and put it on the copy: volume in a directory called TSM. This didn't work. I got the following error:
"ANS1084 No files have previously been backed up for vol1:home/"
Thinking I may have had a syntax error, I tried restoring sys:system to the copy: volume. I issued:
res sys:system/ copy:/ This worked just fine.
I then tried various other ways to restore the previous vol1: information, but always got the same error.
I have started the restore via the web client although I've been told by TSM support that this isn't the best way to do restores.
i vol1:home/
This is the command line command to tell TSM that I want an incremental backup of the home directory on vol1: This worked fine.
