Question

Does anyone know the file name of the root ($)?

RoboSource Control unfortunately is not working correctly and a Rollback caused many topics to be permanently deleted. I'm waiting for approval from IT to get the 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 patches applied, but in the mean time we would like to restore our project from server tape backup. Only, I can't find out where the $ root is stored on the server to have it restored.

Does anyone know the name of the file that is the root? I was expecting to see a file called root or $, but can not locate a file named either.

Your DB Administrator should be able to recover a TSM backup OF YOUR ENTIRE DATABASE, not the project, from tape.  The database object the DBA is retrieving will not have the $ (or the * sign).  It will be named whatever you named the database when you created the database.

Your database name is located on the Connection screen.

Hope it helps...
