IC98465: INCORRECT RESTORE OF SYSTEM DISK WITH NTFS MOUNTED VOLUME(S) USING LOCAL BACKUPSET ON CLIENT

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Client 7.1.1 Downloads and READMEs

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Problem Description:
  When restoring a drive that has been set up with junction
  point(s) for NTFS mounted volume(s) from a local backupset
  the restore process does not consider the junction point(s).
  Instead the folder(s) under the junction point are restored
  directly into the root
   of the system drive causing potentially a full condition for
  the disk.
  
  This happens only when using client local backupset restore.
  Restoring from a backupset on the Tivoli Storage Manager Server
  the problem does not occur.
  The problem occurs using both graphical user interface and dsmc
  command line
  
  An example:
  
  Consider you have the following structure for C:\ Drive:
  
  C:\Folder 1
  C:\Folder 2
  C:\Junction Point\Folder 3
  C:\Junction Point\Folder 4
  
  When trying to restore this structure using option  -local:
   dsmc restore backupset w:\backupsetname.ost c:\*.* -loc=file
  -subdir=yes -repl=all
  
  the resulting folder structure will be:
  C:\Folder 1
  C:\Folder 2
  C:\Folder 3
  C:\Folder 4
  C:\Junc Point\
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
  All TSM Client version 6.x and 7.1
  
  
  Initial Impact:
  Medium
  
  Additional Keywords:
  restore local backupset junction point NTFS mounted
  

Local fix

• Restore from a backupset stored on the Tivoli Storage Manager
  Server.
