Hi all.

 

I have a networker tape with a corrupted label.  When I run scanner,  it
synchronises with the chunks after an initial error message and then
proceeds.  I suspect that it was caused by the tape drive being reset
during the backup, which causes it to rewind and then continue writing
data.   As a result, the tape label and the first, say, 50 filemarks are
gone.

 

I need to recover a SQL DB off these tapes if possible.   I know that
you can use scanner to extract a saveset and redirect this through usam
to restore filesystem-based data.

 

Does anyone know if you can redirect data through nsrsqlrc.exe (or
anything else) to recover a SQL database 

 

Alternately I could possibly write/clone the saveset to a correctly
labelled tape (or a file device) and recover from there.

 

Does anyone know how to do this ?

 

Regards,
