ISSUE
When attempting to restore Novell / OES restores to alternate server or location, they may fail:
NWSMTSOpenDataSetForRestore FAILS CCODE = fffdffdc
TSAFS returns fffdffe5
RESOLUTION
This is usually attributed to a Novell volume name space issue and how the agent interprets these. To complete the restore:
1. Go to the backup appliance and locate the file that you want to restore.
2. Choose a server/client target. Type in the path you wish to use manually. Enter in path \\VOL2\dir .
The @ symbols added in do not always translate properly, depending on the volume name space.
