Hi,

Has anyone could help me the procedure on how to restore a full backup and differential backup from tape. Our file server has been crashed and need to restore all the data on the tape. Please provide me the procedure on how to do it just to make sure that all data will able to access it again.

 

Thank you very much.

  • You need to restore differential backup at the same location where full backup has been restored.

  • Are you performing Disaster Recovery of the server or you just want to restore files and folders?

    If its a file and folder restore then, 1st restore full backup and then the latest differential backup.

  • File and Folder restore only. I was able to restore the full backup on tape and my next step is differential backup, so is there a configuration that needs to be done before i run a restore job on my latest differential backup?

  • Need to select overwrite option while restoring the differential backup set.

  • So what will be the setting? Should I select Restore over existing files or Skip if file exist? And is it ok if I restore the differential backup into one drive where Full backup had been restored as well?

  • You need to restore differential backup at the same location where full backup has been restored.

  • Thank you very much Amol. This is very helpful. I will mark this as a solution. Again, thank you very much.

  • Cheers!!!  If you have doubt about any option in Baackup Exec console then simply press F1 you will get detailed information.
