The tdpsqlc backup command should return the TSM object name of the backup when it completes.

    David, Can you provide some more information regarding the reason you are restoring a SQL database backup to a different server? Is this something you do regularly e.g. to accomplish database cloning?

    Also, do you have a preference if we address this requirement by adding a separate line to the output providing the object name as follows:

    IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Databases:
    Data Protection for Microsoft SQL Server
    Version 6, Release 3, Level 0.0
    (C) Copyright IBM Corporation 1997, 2011. All rights reserved.

    Connecting to SQL Server, please wait...


    Starting SQL database backup...

    Connecting to TSM Server as node 'SAGAN_SQL'...

    Beginning full backup for database testdb, 1 of 1.
    Full: 0 Read: 2186816 Written: 2186816 Rate: 700.18 Kb/Sec
    Backup of testdb completed successfully.

    Database Object Name ..................... 20111130123150\00000C4C


    Or if we append the object name to the completion message for each database like this

    Backup of testdb completed successfully. (objectname=20111130123150\00000C4C)

    Thanks,
