Backup / Restore Client

[xenia123]

Hello

I've got a real problem. Here's the scenario:

Solaris Server a, solaris 7
Solaris Server b, solaris 9
Solaris Server c, solaris 9

A is the main Server which mounts NFS File System from Server b. On Server b the Filesystem is being mounted on Server a has a i/o error on disk, but it still works. Now, I've made a backup of Server B's Filesystem (which is beeing mountet on Server a) to restore it to Server c. Server a mounts via NFS at the moment the Filesystem which is restored from Server b.
But the Problem is now, I've started a restore via NFS mountet Filesystem on Server a. All owner and groups are changed to nobody. I have no idea why this is happened. The Backup was made by root on the Server a.

Could anybody help me? It's really urgent.. I don't know how long Server b's Disks are available..

Greetings and thanks in forward

be sure your user and group ID's are the same on all servers
It could be that on one machine ID 145 is the ID for user billy and on the other machine the ID 145 refers to user nobody
TSM normally keeps file and folder permissions

rgds,

thank you, yes it could be that problem. But im just a little confused because the users are not on Server b just on Server a, and it does work. Now, thats my question, why does't it work on Server c?

Also, i added a User to Server c (same as in Server a's /etc/passwd) and restored a directory which belongs to this recently added user, but the owner and group was still nobody..

i solved the problem with an ibm guru. i didn't add the filesystem to the dsm.sys file, its an nfs filesystem. and this caused these problems.
