[Networker] Recovering server's media database or index?

Hi,

How does one recover the server's media database and/or index if thereis no attached local tape drive, only storage node?

We're running 7.2.2 on Solaris with Linux storage nodes (also 7.2.2).

In our case, we use file type devices on the server, so the server'sregular data is written to tape on the storage node, but its index andbootstrap are written to a file type device on the server. The file typedevice is labeled into the same pool as the tape. The data on the filetype device is then auto staged (daily) to a clone pool on the storagenode. This clone pool has both the indexes and bootstraps. Periodically,that clone pool data is manually cloned to a different clone pool, sothe server's index and bootstraps are ultimately contained on twoseparate tape pools.

If we needed to recover this data, what is the procedure? It was alwaysmy understanding that NetWorker insisted on a local device for backingup the server's index and bootstrap but not sure about recovering? Mightseem silly to be asking this question now, but this was the way aroundnot having a local tape device that was explained to us, and I know Imust have asked about recovery at the time but can't recall the answeror recommended method. Just a curiosity but would be good to know assoon as possible if there's something we need to reconfigure.


Thanks.

George
