Hi Darren,
I don't see how to specify how to force a recover to a different server name in
the saveset
recover gui. Maybe I could change the machine name and then recover.
I do have network connectivity, and I'm testing an rsync of an entire
filesystem (ie full backup
equivalent) now. It's very slow though. Are you suggesting restoring the full
backup from tape, then using rsync to get just the changes? I hadn't thought of
that.
Thanks!
Nicole

Haven't tried it, but I imagine that a saveset recover of the
incremental save set would do that.

Any chance you have net connectivity and could use 'rsync' after the
initial 'full backup' is recovered?
