Recovering Volume Sets

To recover MPE volume sets with the latest backup date, follow these steps:

1. Change to the save set where the MPE volume set resides, for example:

recover> cd

2. (Optional) List the ﬁles in the current save set as follows:

recover> ls

NetWorker displays the following information:

PROJECTS_VOLUME_SET SYS PROJGRP1

3. Mark the directory information ﬁle that you want to recover as follows:

recover> add

PROJECTS_VOLUME_SET

The following message is displayed:

1 file(s) marked for recovery

To add other ﬁles to the recovery list, repeat the add command.

4. Start the recovery process as follows:

recover> recover

Restoring an Entire MPE Volume Set: Disaster Recovery

The save-set-based recovery is ideal for the quick recovery of entire MPE

volume sets, especially after a disaster.

Important: Performing a full restoration of the system volume save set is not

advised as you could overwrite crucial ﬁles.

To perform a disaster recovery, perform the following steps:

1. For the system volume set, use only MPE/iX tools to set up the MPE

system volume set and the operating system. Note that you can restore

required subsets of any saves of the system volume set, including the

directory information pseudo ﬁle.

2. For the system volume set, properly restore and conﬁgure all the

prerequisite system software needed for NetWorker to work and reinstall

NetWorker. Refer to the Legato NetWorker ClientPak for MPE/iX Installation

Guide for software requirements.

3. Use the MPE/iX tools to recreate and mount each nonsystem volume set.
