Hey y'all, it looks like our data center survived, but BellSouth, our

carrier is unable to provide data circuits at this time. IN the meantime, we are looking at creating some temporary critical machines from backups. The only thing I am running through my mind is how difficult it is to do a recovery from not similar tape libraries. It looks like I will be going from a 100+ slot, 8 drive library to a 1 or 2 drive 11 or 17 slot library.

Is this something easy to do - do I just recover the media database?? I've got hundreds of tapes, so scanning in 100's of tapes. I'd like to do

saveset recoveries, but I would need the media index, correct?

Any ideas are welcome, and I'm probably not thinking as well as I normally

am.

Good luck.
