ANE4020E   The data format for object 'filespace namepath-namefile-name' is unknown. The unknown format usually occurs when the file was backed up or archived by a later version of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager.

Explanation

When a file is backed up or archived, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager includes some additional information about the file. This message is issued if IBM Tivoli Storage Manager cannot recognize the information during a restore or retrieve operation. The most likely cause is that the file was backed up or archived with a newer version of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager. If the file was backed up from a case-preserving but not case-sensitive file system, the file name might be displayed with incorrect casing. The incorrect casing does not otherwise affect processing since the file is skipped.

System action

The file is not restored or retrieved. Processing continues with the next file.

User response

Try the restore or retrieve operation again with a current version of the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager client software. If the problem persists, contact IBM technical support for further assistance.
