Hi Richard,

Based on this link, it seems possible to recover the Spectrum Protect server 
without having to restore the DB:

Yep. I realized it after I sent the mail.

Now only if I could remember which version I had installed....

You need the following to be able to restore:

1) DB backup (full + logs for PIT restore or just DBsnapshot)
2) dsmserv.opt
3) volhistory backup (or at least the last DBBackup entry)
4) devconfig backup


No.2 was probably in your /tsminst1 home, but if you know your installation you 
can recreate dsmserv.opt - just use the correct options and values.


No.3 - in what location did you backup your volhistory? - you can also recreate 
this one - you need just the last entry with the right DB backup...but you must 
know exactly, when and where it was backed up, and which devclass...

No.4 - same as no.3 considering location where you backed up devconf.
This one could also be recreated, but depending on your configuration it could 
be the most complicated of all three...maybe even impossible :-(

Wish you luck.
