All you would have to do is change the library configuration to manual in
the device configuration file before the restore is done.  Then when ever
you do the Database restore, you will have to specify the volumes that
contain the database backup.  Then when you are up and running, the server
will ask for tapes as needed and you will have to insert then and answer a
request .. "reply 001"  where 001 is the request number . which you get
from "q request".

Thanks and Have a Great Day

Hi,
   We have a 3494 tape library with 4 3590 tape drives and a robot. We are
considering an offsite disaster recovery solution. Meaning if the present
building is destroyed we go to another location and restore everything.
However at this "other location" we donot have 3494 tape library. We would
have access to only 3590 tape drives. My question is how would the tapes be
loaded to tape drives manually. In other words would the drives recognize
the tapes(created in 3494 library) or do I need to change something in our
present configuration.

Thanks
Raminder Braich
