You shouldn't need a license for a local restore from a single tape
drive.

Cool.

Hmm.  What launches the daemons on a storage node?  (I don't have one
installed).  If it's not nsrd, then simply moving it aside may be
sufficient.

If it is, how does nsrd tell the difference between a master and a
storage node?
