PERFORMING A RESTORE

To perform the restore, select the disk you wish to restore to. Of course, make sure the
correct SCSI ID is set for the tape drive in the RESTORE FROM field.
You need to enter the name of the backup you wish to restore. In the simplest example,
the tape you are restoring from may contain just one backup that uses the default name
BACKUP. In this case, you can just press EXECUTE to start the restore. If a name other
than the default was used, if you know the EXACT name (bearing in mind upper and
lowercase characters and spaces, etc.), type the name in the TITLE field. If you are not
sure what is on the tape, press SELECT TITLE (F1/F2) to see the names of the backups
on the tape. Pressing SELECT TITLE will show this screen:

search time will increase according to the number of backups on the tape. Press
EXECUTE to continue. You will see this screen:
After a while, you will be taken to this screen:
Here, you see a list of all the backups on the tape and the number of files (cues/clips)
contained within them. In this case, there are just three backups. If more than five
backups exist on the tape, up/down arrows will appear to indicate that there are items 'off
screen that you may select. Move the cursor to the one you want to restore and press
EXECUTE. The backup will be selected and you will be taken back to the main SCSI
RESTORE page:
The easiest restore to perform is when a tape has just one backup on it. In this case,
simply select ALL PROJS & LIBS and press EXECUTE. Regardless of the type of backup
you performed on this tape, any projects and libraries found on the tape will be restored.
Similarly, if the tape contains just one backup of only libraries, you can still use the ALL
PROJS & LIBS selection - if the DD1500 doesn't find any projects, it will ignore this and will
restore only the libraries it finds. The same would be true of projects. If the tape only
