Restoring Data from a Server

Storage Management Services Administration Guide
Use SBCON to restore information from tape backup. These procedures use
SBCON as the Storage Management Engine (SME).
Know the username and password for the target server or workstation to
which you want to restore data.
Know the session description that you want to restore. You can get this
information from your session log and error files. (See
page 37.)
For an Advanced Options restore session, ensure that you know the file
system structure of the data you are restoring. You will be prompted for
specific paths and filenames while setting the restore options.
If you restore the server-specific information from the file system backup
of the failed server to a functioning server or location, you can use the
VOL$INFO.TXT file as a reference for this information.
If you want to restore data to a new location (different from where the
original data was located), you must specify the full path to both the
original data and the new location. If the new location does not exist,
SBCON will create a new file system structure.
You can get the original path from your backup logbook or from the
session log files if you noted the path at the time the backup was
performed.
Replace faulty hardware or correct the problems that caused data loss (if
applicable).
Ensure that media is inserted in your storage device.
You can restore data either from the server command line or from a Windows
workstation using NWBACK32.
