Re: Backupsets on FILE devclasses: Mobile or not?

Allen,
The particular client manual will tell you what local device if any is supported
for backupset  restore.
For example my netware backupset restores do not support locally attached
devices so  have to been done over the network.
Of course at the server end the backupset can be on a file device or tape
whichever is convenient

Subject:  Backupsets on FILE devclasses:  Mobile or not?



So, I'm thinking of some DR scenaria, and I was considering:

If I make a backupset on a FILE devclass, and somehow consipre to move that
backupset to a box that I think might need it, can I restore from it just as a
file on disk?

Hmm, I think I should experiment, but I was curious if anyone had already
tried such a thing.
