Restoring NTFS or ReFS volume mount points

A mount point can also be restored individually. For example, C:\mount is a mount point and has been backed up as part of the C:\ drive on the system named STORMAN. The following command can be used to restore this mount point:

dsmc restore {\\storman\c$}\mount

The braces ({ and }) are required if you also backed up the data on the mounted volume from the mount point. Without the braces, Tivoli® Storage Manager restores data from the file space with the longest name that matches the file specification. If you backed up the data through the mount point, the backups are stored in a file space named \\storman\c$\mount. The braces are used to specify that the data be restored from the \\storman\c$ file space.

The mount point cannot be restored if any of the following conditions is true:

• The mount point already exists.
• A non-empty directory matching the mount point name exists.
• A file matching the mount point name exists.
