LiteSpeed for SQL Server 8.8 - Installation Guide

Object Level Restores from TSM Backups

You cannot do object level restores directly from a TSM backup, because TSM does not allow for randomly accessing the data.

To work around this issue

1. Do one of the following:

   • Convert a TSM backup to LiteSpeed disk backup. For more information, see Recast LiteSpeed Backups.
   • Extract a TSM backup to disk as a native uncompressed backup, using the extractor tool. For more information, see Convert LiteSpeed Backups to SQL Server Backups.

   NOTE: To be able to extract TSM backups you need the Extractor tool delivered with LiteSpeed 5.2 or higher. This tool is fully backward compatible.

2. Restore objects from the converted or native backup files using the Object Level Recovery tool.
