Restoring a LUN volume on a NetApp device
Hi,
We are trying to restore a LUN that is located on a StoreVault S550 device (now called NetApp S550) and we are having issues. This is test to see if it works. I have been in contact with NetApp and they aren't having much luck.
Here is the information about equipment:
Software: Backup Exec v12 rev 1364
OS: Windows Server 2003
Tape Drive: HP Autoloader 1/8
When trying to restore a LUN (that still exists on NetApp device) we get the following error:
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!
Thanks,
Scott

- You cannot restore a single file into the root of a volume - your choices are
1) Restore the whole volume containing the LUN (might not be that useful)
2) Create a Qtree on a folder and restore the LUN into that Qtree - note this is assuming that your LUN was oriiginally on the root of the volume and not in a qtree folder already - if it was in a qtree folder already you will have to make sure you have the latest hotfixes installed, then modify the registry, then create your qtree subfolder to restore to, the do a redirected restore (as per http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/316576 )
