Hi,
I have a save set from a Windows box that was written to LTO-3 tape on
NW backup server A (ran 7.2.2). I'd like to run the following two tests
recovering that data using NW server B (runs 7.5). In both cases, the
data will be recovered to the same Windows box:
1. save set recover
2. browsable recover
Server B doesn't know anything about this tape, however, and it doesn't
have access to the LTO-3 tape library that server A used. I can move the
tape over to server B's LTO-4 tape library, though (backward read
compatible).
For test 1, I would use scanner to scan in the particular save set and
then rebuild the media index for that save set and then use recover to
perform a save set recover? Are these steps correct:
On server B
1. Manually load tape in LTO-4 drive
2. scanner -m -S ssid device_path (determine ssid from server A)
3. recover -S ssid (Unix command).
That it? Not sure how to do save set recover on Windows?
Questions:
1. I assume step 2 will create a volume entry for the tape, but with
just that one save set?
2. Also, by specifying the ssid, will scanner forward through the tape
to that specific save set, or will it read through all the data on the
tape to get there? In other words, will the physical tape positioning be
just as fast as it will be when I run save set recover?
3. How do I do perform test 2 using browsable recover? The LTO-3 tape
that has the client index can be also be moved and scanned, but not sure
how to use 'nsrck -L7' for a tape that server B doesn't know about?
Also, that index was created on server A that was running 7.2.2. I have
the same client on server B. Different clientid, but I can change it to
match if this will be necessary?
Thanks.
George
