I have done many tests at sunguard. I would do the following. 

1) Make sure you have a valid bootstrap and all client indexes backed up
fully on the DR tapes. 
2) Make sure your DR backup server had the same server name as your
production. 
3) Since you only have one client to recover ask sunguard for a
standalone drive, if not just use the drives in the library but do not
configure the silo if you don't need it. 
4) Install networker and run mmrecov and enter the information needed.
Make sure the tape is in the drive. Add the drive /dev/rmt/xxxx to the
base install of networker. 
5) Once the DB has been recovered, stop networker, and rename the res
directories. 
6) restart networker. Remove your jukebox and add the standalone drives.
Mount the tapes with the indexes and data. 
7) Using the gui recover the index from the client in question from
tape. When done run nsrck -L6 clientname. You could also use nsrck -L7
clientname -t date.
8) Once the index is recovered you can do a browsable recovery. 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: [Networker] Tips for doing a DR at SunGard

Greetings everyone;

I am scheduled to do a DR test at SunGard on January 27th. This is a
first for me. I am told I will have an LTO-3 tape library connected to a
Sun box with Solaris 10. My production NetWorker server is 7.4 on a Sun
T2000 with Solaris 10. I am scheduled to recover data from only one
client, a Linux box and I will have another Linux box at my disposal at
SunGard for this exercise. I am heading over to SunGard in a couple of
hours to do a pre-flight check, but they said they won't allow me to log
onto any of the test hardware until the day of the test, which is not
good from my standpoint. I also will not have the benefit of my
production server's media database and CFI for this test. Fortunately,
the data is all straight text files, no database stuff and its only one
client; the one that handles our University's most important data. For
this test, I also only need to recover a subset of the files in order to
verify that they can be read, but I am going to try to talk the others
on the DR team to let me recover the full set of data so I can get an
idea of how long the recover process would take in a real DR situation.
The entire set of data is roughly 1TB.

Since I only have one client I need to recover, I am thinking I would
just put the tapes in the SunGard tape library and start scanning them
in order. For this particular client, I have an automated script that
emails me daily the output of "mminfo -v " and I get that output both on
my work email and my gmail.com address and I also automatically archive
the results on a web site at work and on a google groups web site for
safe keeping. I do the same for the daily bootstrap.  
Unfortunately, I do not have the means to do a test of this before the
SunGard DR test; we lack the disk space.

So if anyone has any tips on how I should go about doing this recover at
SunGard, please let me know.

Thanks
