Restoring Files And Folders - HP D6030A - NetServer - E50 Getting Started

5 Restoring Files and Folders

In case of hardware failure or accidental erasure of files, you can use the Stac
Replica Backup HP SureStore Tape Edition's restore files shortcut to mount the
appropriate backup tape as a removable drive, then restore the lost or damaged
files by simply copying the originals to the desired location.
Restoration is a three-step process: mounting the backup tape as a drive, copying
the files to the desired location, then dismounting the tape volume.
The figure below illustrates the procedure for restoring files from a backup tape
mounted as a removable drive.
Mounting a Backup Tape as a Volume
Replica mounts tape as a system volume that is recognized
as Drive F; while mounted, it's no longer visible
to Replica as backup media.
Dismount tape through Replica; tape is no longer visible
as a system volume, instead is visible only to Replica
as backup media.
