All,
It turns out I made a large error here.
I wonder if anyone can help.
Here's the scenario:
In a full backup on February, our 80 servers were backed up onto about
60 tapes.
In may of this year, I stupidly overwrote the last tape of the
february full backup. As a result, the saveset of one of our clients
(and, no
doubt, some of the files) disappeared.
1. Is it possible to reconstruct what there is of the saveset?
2. Do I simply use scanner to find the first tape in the full backup
that has an instance of this clients saveset?
a. Do I then use "scanner -i" to reconstruct what there is
of the saveset even if it's incomplete?
b. If yes, what is the fastest way to do it?
I guess this is an argument for cloning, but, what now?
Any help, as usual, really appreciated.
