Managing the HP NetStorage 6000 Using Telnet

Running a Tape Restore

From the Tape Backup main menu, select 4. Restore to restore data from a tape.

A screen showing the status of the last restore run or the current restore activity displays. Enter 1. Start

restore to begin restoring data from tape.

Data needed to begin a restore can be obtained by using the Tape Discovery options. To begin a restore:

1. Enter the job name found on the tape you are restoring from.

2. Enter the serial number of the tape you are restoring data from.

3. Enter N for Restore system data unless you are recovering from a system disaster. Restoring system

data should only be done in emergency situations and can have severe consequences for existing data.

4. If you desire, you may annotate the restore operation with a comment.

5. Specify an overwrite policy to resolve conflicts between data being restored from tape and data

currently on the disk.

• 0: No Overwrite specifies that tape data will never overwrite existing disk data.

• 1: Normal Overwrite.

• 2: Force Overwrite always overwrites disk data with restored tape data.
