Using Options on the DSMC Command

You can include options on the dsmc command. For example, your organization might have two workstations that back up to the server under separate node names. To recover a file from one workstation (galaxy1) while at the other workstation (galaxy2), you will need access to galaxy1. We recommend that you use the set access command to gain access.

For example, assume the file to be recovered on galaxy1 is c:\universe\saturn. The owner of galaxy1 enters the following command:

   dsmc set ac archive c:\universe\saturn galaxy2

When access is granted, you would gain access by entering:

   dsmc retrieve -fromnode=galaxy1 c:\universe\saturn

Access to another user's files may also be granted and gained using the GUI.

For more information about the set access command, see Set Access. For more information about the fromnode option, see Fromnode.

If you have more than one backup server in your organization, you can easily switch between them using a command line option. To override the server specified in dsm.opt, you could use a command such as this: <xmp> dsm -TCPS=myserver -NODE=mynode -TCPPORT=1599</xmp>
