DISK MANAGEMENT
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 FROM SCSI TAPE 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:
Depending on the number of backups on the tape, it could take a while to search the tape for the
different titles. If it contains only one backup, the search should not take long but 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 system 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 contains projects, even
though ALL PROJS & LIBS is selected as the restore type, if it can't find any libraries, it will just
continue, restoring only the projects.
