Restore FSA data without original server present
Hi all,
I have a situation with a customer who at some point last year moved all his data from an old server, FS1, across to two new servers, FS2 and FS3. This data had been partially archived and so all the placeholders were moved across at the same time. I believe the data was moved by a mixture of dragging and dropping and also backup to tape with a redirected restore. At no point was FSAUtility used and many of the placeholders do not now work. The old server has also now been decommissioned and the target entry for it in the Vault deleted.
What they would now like to do is export all the archives to a location on the file server from where they can always get the files if need be so I thought let's use the following:
FSAUtility -t -s "fs1.domain.com\share1" -d "fs2.domain.com\share1" -l 0
BUT this gets the following error looking for the old server:
FSA Data Mover Utility.

Restore files
Source : \\fs1.domain.com\share1
Destination : fs2.domain.com\share
Error: Invalid fileServer \\fs1.domain.com
Is there a way around fsautility looking for the old server? I just want the data out, it really doesn't matter if the data slots neatly into an existing folder structure.
Thanks
Mark
im not sure how much help support can be as they're technically a break/fix organization, this really falls under the realms of professional services to be honest
