Fromtime

Use the fromtime option with the fromdate option to specify a beginning time from which you want to search for backups or archives during a restore, retrieve, or query operation.

Tivoli® Storage Manager ignores this option if you do not specify the fromdate option.

Use the fromtime option with the following commands:

  • delete backup
  • query archive
  • query backup
  • restore
  • restore group
  • retrieve

Parameters

time
Specifies a beginning time on a specific date from which you want to search for backed up or archived files. If you do not specify a time, the time defaults to 00:00:00. Specify the time in the format you selected with the timeformat option.

When you include the timeformat option in a command, it must precede the fromtime, pittime, and totime options.
