Well, I really hope this isn't necessary, but as I write this
email, I am facing the possibility of having a destroyed data
center at this time on Monday. We have evacuated, with an
incredible number of backup tapes.
What I was wondering, is there anything that I can do from a remote
location to speed up recovery time - such as copying the media
database to another remote computer, or copying the bootstrap. Is
there such a way as to run a bootstrap to a disk, or maybe a
directed recover of the bootstrap?
I have probably 18-24 hours to do some things from this remote
location, before we will lose connectivity to the data center (my
assumption).
I gladly welcome any ideas at this point.
That depends on what you need to recover and how the data was backed
up. In general, the fastest way to do this is with save set recovers.
Use the -S option on the recover command. This will speed things up
considerably when compared to doing conventional recovers.
Good luck to you. I hope Hurricane Katrina is not as bad as the news
reports say it is.
