Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide


Performing Command Line Retrieves

You retrieve a file when you want to return an archive copy from the server to your NetWare server.

You can retrieve a single file, a group of files, or all the files in a directory or subdirectory. When you retrieve a file, Tivoli Storage Manager sends you a copy of that file. The archived file remains in storage.

You can also specify that you want to retrieve files you archived within a particular range of dates or that are due to expire within a particular range of dates.

Use the retrieve command to retrieve files. Indicate the file you want retrieved and a destination. If you do not indicate a destination, the files are retrieved to their original location.

For example, to retrieve the sys:doc/h1.doc file to its original directory, use:

   load dsmc retrieve sys:/doc/h1.doc

To retrieve it under a new name, use:

   load dsmc retrieve sys:doc/h1.doc sys:doc/h2.doc

You can use the pick option to get a list of archives from which you can pick files.

See Retrieve for more information.
