Restoring with SBCON

[spelk]

We backup daily using SBCON to DLT VS1 tapes in Netware 6.

 

I am having difficulty restoring specific files using SBCON

 

On the original tape lets say I want to restore this file

 

PROJECTS:Projects/0002/Data/Raw Data/RDO/RDORaw.dat

 

to another Directory

 

USERS:SHARE/RESTORE

 

So I set up a Restore Job, select the session to restore from, and under Advanced Options set the following:

 

Rename Data Sets:

Source Path: PROJECTS:Projects/0002/Data/Raw Data/RDO/

Destination Path: USERS:SHARE/RESTORE

Namespace: LONG (4)

 

Subsets of what to Restore:

Include Files: PROJECTS:Projects/0002/Data/Raw Data/RDO/RDORaw.dat

(all other options set to default)

 

Open Mode Options: (all set to No)

 

Overwrite Parent: No

Overwrite Child: No

 

Then I submit the job. And it fails to restore the data.

 

Can someone point me in the right direction to set up an SBCON restore job for specific files, that restore to a different place. We used to use SBACKUP/NBACKUP and you could pick files off a list there, puzzles me why this options isn't in SBCON.

 

Your advice and help would be very much appreciated, thanks..
