Perhaps the options

   -replace=all -ifnewer

will work for you. The use the equivalent GUI options, from the Restore
dialog, click on the 3rd button from the left (just above the tree view).
Change "Action for files that already exist" to "Replace", and check the
"Replace only if newer" option.

You can refer to the online help and/or "Using the Backup-Archive Client"
book for further info.

Christoph,

If you get a direct response, please forward it to me.  I'm currently
facing
a VERY similar situation with a Windows 2000 server.  I'm using TSM 4.1.2,
and I "THINK" it will ask if I only want to restore the changes, but I'm
not
sure.

TSM Server 4.1.2 running on AIX 4.3.3
TSM Client 4.1.2 running on Windows 2000 Server


Thank you,

Subject:        Incremental Restore

Hy all,

within the next few days I have to restore some large disk-volumes to new
disks on a Netware-Server. Because its in production, I can't stop the
server for the whole restore time. The volumes are about 260GB in size. The
backup-data are spanned over about 24 tapes (3590E), so restore takes a
while.
The data can not be mirrored.
My idea is to restore the complete data to the new volumes while users work
on the old ones. After finishing this restore, I want to do another
incremental backup of the old volumes to get the meanwhile changed data.

But : how do I get only these data to the new volumes without touching all
the other older data on the tapes ???

TSM-Server : AIX 4.3  TSM 3.7.4
Netware-Version : 5.0   TSM-Client 3.7.2

Thanks for help
Christoph
