Results
Note: On Mac OS X, consider the following items when restoring
data using the GUI:
- When TSM Tools for Administrators is used to start the
client, the client is running with a UID of zero. This means that
if you create a folder to restore your files to, that folder is owned
by root. To access the files you must change the permissions of the
folder. You can change the folder owner from a terminal window using
the sudo chown command. See your operating system documentation
for more information on how to accomplish this.
- When restoring files with the replace option
set to no, existing files will not be overwritten, but existing
directories are overwritten. To leave existing directories intact
during a restore operation, select the Options button ⇒ All
selected files and directories dropdown menu ⇒ Files only option.
- When folders are restored from a UFS or HFSX file system to a
HFS file system and they differ only in case, the client restores
the contents of both folders to one folder.
