[Veritas-bu] Restoring while vaulting?
2002-04-03 12:49:43
If all of your drives were busy during bpVault's processes, then your mount
request for your restore would and should have queued. When a drive was
available your restore should have be submitted.
I don't know how many drives you have, but if this is an issue, you can
configure one of your storage units to have n-1 drives. This leaves one
drive "unconfigured" for the storage unit, but still configured for NetBackup
to use for restores. It will be a restore only drive.
There is no way to pause vault temporarily, you must either kill it or wait for
it to complete.
