After users grant you access to their files on the server, you can restore or retrieve those files to your local system.
About this task
You can display file spaces of another user on the server, restore the backup versions of another user, or retrieve the archive copies of another user to your local file system:
Procedure
- Click Utilities from the main window.
- Click Access Another Node. The Access Another Node window appears.
- Type the node name of the host workstation of the user in the Node name field. Type the user name in the User name field.
- Click the Set button.
Results
If you are using commands, use the fromnode and fromowner options to indicate the node name and the name of the user who owns the files.
For example, to restore files to one of your own file systems that were backed up from a workstation named
Node1 and owned by a user named
Ann, enter:
dsmc restore -fromn=node1 -fromo=ann "/home/proj/*" /home/gillis/
Use the
query filespace command to get a list of file spaces. For example, to get a list of file spaces owned by
Ann on
Node1, enter:
dsmc query filespace -fromn=node1 -fromo=ann
