Notes on using tivoli to restore data

dsmc

dsmc is the IBM Tivoli app you can use to restore data. Pass it parameters on either the command line, or manage it from the internal menus.

To restore a file to it's original location:

dsmc restore /web/content/site/path/filename.ext

To restore the latest version of a file to it's original location, that is not in the latest archive:

dsmc restore -pick -inactive /web/content/site/path/filename.ext

The '-pick' option makes dsmc display a list of files/dates. Choose one or more to restore bhy typing in the number of the item and the 'o' for ok.

dsmc restore -pick /web/content/site/path/filename.ext

Or, if the file is not in the latest rev of the backup, -pick a specific version of the file:

dsmc restore -pick -inactive /web/content/site/path/filename.ext
