[Networker] Quickest restore method
2006-10-09 07:53:48
Sorry for the extra text (replay all selected) here it goes clean:
Hello all, I need some advice. The case is this:
I have saved 80,000,000 files into 20 LTO2 tapes, near 3.5 TB, with
Networker version 7.0
The save was done with "No index save" option activated (-S option to
'save' command), because i dont want this huge information into my
Networker indexes (it is all mounted read only, raid 5 protected, and it
comes from 900 DVDs i still store here)
I now have to restore them in my backup center, different Networker
Server (version 7.3) The question is: do i have to run scanner over the
20 tapes before i'll be able to restore anything from them? Or there
exists some method which directly scans and restore them al in one time?
I've read about scanner's -x option. 'man scanner' says it 'extracts',
but extracts all contents or only indexes? Is this what i have to use,
passing all ssids within each tape? What happens when the save set
reaches one tape's EOF and extends to a second one?
TIA.
