Netbackup should be more than happy to talk to the stand alone drive. Then it is a case of importing the tape (or tapes) that is needed for the restore. if you have an inventory of what was on the media, then you should be ok.
NOTE: It can take up to 4 hours to do a full import of a single tape.

I have a problem. I'm new to Netbackup. Currently we have a 6.53 install with a Spectra Logic t950 robot with LTO-4 Drives and LTO-4 Media. However there used to be a different server with LTO-3 drives and LTO-1-3 media and a different hostname and catalog this was decommissioned about 3 years ago. Now I have a couple requests to retrieve data off some of the LT0-1 media and the old catalog is no where to be found. I have an LTo-3 Drive but its standalone and won't integrate with the robot. How would you all proceed? +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by brad.sagow...@noaa.gov via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu This email (including any attachments) may contain confidential and/or privileged information or information otherwise protected from disclosure.
